The Dunamis International Gospel Centre recently graduated about 451 persons from various skill programmes in its 2024 Batch A Skills Acquisition Training.

They were also empowered with various equipment and grants.

Speaking at the Dunamis Skills Acquisition Graduation and Empowerment 2024 Batch A ceremony, the Senior Pastor of Dunamis, Dr. Paul Enenche, and his wife, Dr. Mrs. Becky Enenche, informed the gathering that the Church is considering the establishment of a Vocational Skills training Academy.

He said the academy will provide an avenue for youths to acquire necessary skills in response to current realities.
On his part, Head of the Welfare Department of the Church, David Ozigi, observed that the Dunamis Church already has training facilities and equipment across various vocational trades.

He emphasized that conducting training for a longer duration would have a more significant impact.

He thanked Dr. Paul Enenche and Dr. Mrs. Becky Enenche for the privilege given to church members to acquire various skills in addition to ensuring their spiritual growth.

Speaking further, Ozigi noted that a total of 451 trainees formally graduated in various skills such as Catering – Baking and Cake Making, Catering – Local Dishes and Fruit Juices, Farming, Fashion, Interior Decoration, Painting and Paint Production, Shoe Production, Solar Energy, among others.
Additionally, the individuals were empowered with various equipment, including sewing machines, hairdryers, solar equipment, and financial grants.

Addressing the beneficiaries, Ozigi urged them to deploy their acquired entrepreneurship skills to ensure the sustainability of their businesses.

His words, “The regular vocational skills training conducted by Dunamis represents the Church’s modest contribution to lifting people out of poverty and ensure improved economic development of the nation.

“The present level of unemployment and the general poor state of the Nigeria economy calls for all hands to be on deck. As we cannot continue to depend on government more so when the government seems to have failed in its basic responsibility of creating the enabling environment for business to thrive.”

Some of the beneficiaries, while speaking with newsmen, expressed their gratitude to the church, Dr Enenche and his wife, for providing a platform to empower them free of charge.
