The Princess Anita Teens Development Initiative (PATDI) has enrolled 50 young girls into the AFS Vocational Hub for Special Skills, reaffirming its commitment to youth empowerment and community development.
Speaking at the opening ceremony of the training programme in Abuja, the Convener and Executive Director of PATDI, Princess Anita Umeweni, announced that the enrolment marks the final batch of the organization’s 2025 vocational training programme.
“We have successfully enrolled 50 young girls into the AFS Vocational Hub for Special Skills, marking the last batch of our 2025 vocational training programme,” she said.
Princess Umeweni noted that the initiative—supported by the Danjuma Foundation and AFS Vocational Hub—is designed to equip young women with practical skills and knowledge that will enable them to become self-reliant and productive members of society.
She explained that by the end of the three-week training, each participant would have the tools and confidence to turn potential into purpose and achieve sustainable independence.
Highlighting PATDI’s long-term vision, Princess Umeweni said the training, which began on November 5, 2025, represents a major stride toward the organization’s Vision 2035, which seeks to build a crime-free and self-reliant society.
“We are proud to lead the way with innovative programmes that transform lives and restore hope,” she stated.
“Together, we are proving that a crime-free society is not a dream but a possibility—when we invest in people, purpose, and progress. We must get it right, and with partnerships like these, we will.”

“We Live in Fear”: Lebanese Wife of AA Oil CEO Alhaji Aliyu Abubakar Appeals for Government Intervention
Joel Ajayi
Mrs. Suheir Aliyu Abubakar, the Lebanese wife of prominent businessman and CEO of AA Oil, Alhaji Aliyu Abubakar, has issued a passionate appeal to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu, the Ministry of Women Affairs, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, members of the National Assembly, and other well-meaning Nigerians to intervene in what she describes as a “worsening and traumatic” situation threatening her safety and that of her children.
According to Mrs. Abubakar, her marital troubles intensified after her husband issued multiple court summons containing conflicting claims regarding the status of their marriage. One summon reportedly indicated that he no longer wished to continue with the union and had accepted an abandonment dating back to 2017. Another summon dated November 14 allegedly stated that the marriage ended in 2018, urging the court to confirm the divorce and compelling her to vacate their residence.
She said these contradictory legal actions have left her confused and vulnerable, heightening her fears of being forcefully removed from her home without adequate protection for herself and her children.
Mrs. Abubakar accused her husband of subjecting her to prolonged emotional distress and neglect, noting that she has endured escalating threats that could leave her and her children homeless. She narrated how the situation further deteriorated when her husband allegedly threatened to evict them from the house, an experience she described as traumatic and deeply unsettling.
“I am living in fear. I don’t know what will happen next. I just want safety for myself and my children,” she pleaded.
Calling for immediate intervention, the Lebanese mother implored authorities, human rights advocates, and concerned Nigerians to help prevent what she believes is an attempt to wield power and influence to render her and her children destitute.
As the marital dispute deepens, Mrs. Abubakar says her greatest concern remains the uncertainty surrounding their welfare and the possibility of being left on the streets without shelter or protection.
