Speaking during the presentation recently, Mrs Lana Olonisakin, SEWmEG Coordinator General said: “We are committed to developing the capacity of those groups of girls as well as facilitating economic empowerment for them through special skill training for the blind girls.
“In this regard, we will continue to work in partnership with you. We are very proud of the past and present students of this centre. You will go to higher places because you never once allowed your situation to demoralize you and prevent you from moving forward,” she stated.
