 The Nisa’u Sunnah, a faith-based group, has trained 600 women in modern farming skills in Bauchi State.

Hajiya Rakiya Dabo, the Group Lead, said this at the end of a 3-day training exercise for sustainable agric development on Tuesday in Bauchi.

According to her, the exercise is being conducted in collaboration between the group and Jama’atul Izalatul Bidi’a Waikamatus Sunnah (JIBWIS).

She said the training exercise was designed to equip women with the skills to improve farming activities and contribute to the state’s economic growth.

“Women play a vital role in the development of our communities, and it is essential that we provide them with the necessary tools and support to succeed,” she said.

In a presentation, Dr Ibrahim Disina, said Muslim women were the backbone of the society, adding that their contributions to the economy and social development cannot be overstated.
He advised the participants to utilise the skills learnt to improve their talents and economic growth for the benefit of the society.

Prof. Zubairu Madaki, Chairman of the JIBWIS in the state, lauded the gesture, and enjoined the beneficiaries to respect their husbands in line with Islamic perspectives.

“As women, you have a critical role to play in maintaining harmony in the home and promoting peaceful co-existence in the community,” he said.

He also encouraged them to utilise the ideas shared during the training for a better future.
“The knowledge and skills you have acquired are not only for your personal benefit but also for the benefit of your families and communities,” he said.

Aisha Mohammed, one of the participants, lauded the gesture and promised to step down the skills in her community.

“I am grateful for this opportunity, and I’m committed to sharing my newfound skills with other women in my community.”

The participants were drawn from 20 local government areas of the state.
