He stated that Hydraform International, a reputable South African company, supplied the project's equipment, enabling the construction of new school buildings in all 16 local government areas.

Governor Kefas expressed optimism regarding the training's potential to equip youths with valuable skills, enhancing the state's development and career prospects. Upon completion, participants will be deloyed across the state to construct schools with precision and durability.

He is confident that these schools will provide long-term benefits, serving both current and future generations.4

He noted that this project encompasses not only education but also empowering young people to contribute to the development of Taraba State. He assured the public that additional training programs, including school furniture making, are forthcoming.

Dr. Augustina Godwin, Commissioner for Education, remarked that participants were selected from all 16 local government areas. She highlighted the importance of the skills learned through this training in revitalizing the education sector. The state has also acquired 45 Hydraform machines, and the 100 trainees will cascade their knowledge to the local level.

Abdulhakeem Usman, representing Hydraform International, lauded the Governor's vision for acquiring the equipment, labeling it a breakthrough in building materials technology in Taraba. He advocated for continued state support to enhance youth benefits and expand affordable housing projects.

A drama performance by the Taraba State Art Council added a cultural touch to the event.
