NO fewer than 200 women graduated in 2017 from the Women Empowerment Programme Scheme Synergy (WEPSS) instituted by oil and gas logistics giant, INTELS Nigeria Limited as part of its corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative. 100 of the women completed the 20-weeks training in June while another 100 completed it in December 2017. The graduates went through intensive training in fashion design and tailoring under the tutelage of world-class professionals. “This empowerment helps the women contribute meaningfully to Nigeria’s economic development and non-oil revenue drive,” he said. “Through WEPSS, the women have been exposed to the benefits of recycling fabric wastes, thereby limiting its impact on the environment,” he added.
