The Senator representing Kaduna South Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Senator Sunday Marshall Katung, has facilitated the training of over 200 people on ICT profit maximization.

The gesture is part of Senator Katung’s desire to improve the economic well-being of his constituents at the grassroots level.

According to Senator Katung, the move is aimed at providing the necessary skills for people in rural communities to thrive economically using smartphones.

Senator Katung who spoke through his Senior Legislative Aide, Hon. Wilson Iliya, at the venue of the three days training program in Kubacha, Kagarko Local Government Area of Kaduna State, said the skill acquisition training is meant to address the growing issue of unemployment, especially at the grassroots level.

Senator Katung noted that the training, which brought together men and women from Kagarko Local Government Area, will enable beneficiaries to leverage on technology for business growth, e-commerce, and digital marketing through the usage of their handsets.

“I intend to expose our citizens at the grassroots to the use of their smartphones to create wealth for themselves. Our citizens at the local level will have skills to thrive in today’s technology-driven world,” he said.

Also speaking at the event, a Senior Manager at the Nigerian Communications Satellite Limited (NICOMSAT), Mr Obamde Sunny Jack, said the training was designed to teach people at the grassroots how to make use of their handsets to turn around their fortunes.

“We are here in partnership with Senator Katung to train the people at the grassroots on the use of smartphones to create legal wealth for themselves.

The training was in partnership with the Nigerian Communications Satellite Limited (NICOMSAT).

He said: “Like millions of Nigerians, I watched with deep concern this morning as Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan raised serious allegations of sexual harassment, intimidation, and mistreatment against the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.

“These allegations are grave and deserve a thorough, impartial, and transparent investigation.

“The Nigerian Senate represents the voice of the people. Those who serve in it — especially its leadership — must uphold the highest standards of integrity, dignity, and respect, both for their office and for the Nigerian citizens they serve.

“As the third most powerful figure in the country, the Senate President should embody unimpeachable character.

“Sexual harassment in the workplace is a significant barrier to women’s advancement and, by extension, the nation’s progress. Allegations of such misconduct should never be simply dismissed, particularly when they involve a public officer with immense power, influence, and responsibility.

“As the chief presiding officer of the Upper Chamber, the Senate President has a duty to champion the protection and empowerment of Nigerian women through legislation — not to be the subject of allegations that undermine those very principles.

“The handling of this matter will send a strong message about Nigeria’s commitment to justice, accountability, and the inclusion of women in governance”.

Atiku, therefore, urged President Bola Tinubu and the Senate to take the allegations seriously, ensuring that the investigation is impartial and transparent.

He stressed that the handling of this matter will send a strong message about Nigeria’s commitment to justice, accountability, and the inclusion of women in governance.

With only four women currently serving in the Senate, Atiku believed it is imperative to foster an environment where female legislators can serve without fear of harassment or intimidation.
