Abstract
ABSTRACT
Gripped by the current "Better Life for Women Programme"
nationwide campaign, the women of Eggon tribe in Plateau State
i
Nigeria, amongst them well placed civil servants and technocrats
felt the need to establish a Training Centre in their community.
Studies revealed the urgent need for such a Centre given that
none of its kind was found within that part of the country.
Activities considered to be complementary to existing practices
in the community are integrated into the concept of the Centre
to enable it live up to the challenges of a new and increasing
population as a result of its recent status as a Local Government
Headquarter. The thrust is for real development which connotes
training of the creative capacity of a people to efficiently
transform natural resources at their disposal into goods and
services to meet everyday needs.
The Centre concept takes cognisance of the unique activites
of women in the area ostensibly to identify problems and proffer
solutions. The Centre is thus viewed as a showcase intended also
to spur other organs within the community towards greater and
faster overall development.
