Following the release of the list of successful candidates for the PAWECA Technical Skills Acquisition entrance exams, there has been a surge of questions and confusion from the public regarding the various empowerment initiatives under the Adamawa State Poverty Alleviation and Wealth Creation Agency (PAWECA).
We wish to clarify that the recently published list is strictly for the Technical Skills Acquisition Programme. This initiative is entirely different from the PAWECA Fintiri Business Wallet targeted at small-scale business owners.
The Fintiri Business Wallet program involved beneficiaries filling out forms, submitting their information, and undergoing data capture in recent weeks. A total of 40,000 individuals were successfully selected for the empowerment fund, and disbursement is expected to commence by the end of this month, by God's grace.
On the other hand, over 6,000 candidates have been shortlisted in the first batch for the PAWECA Technical Skills Acquisition Programme and will soon begin training at various centers across the state. A second batch of candidates is also expected to join in due course.
We hope this clears up any misunderstandings between the two separate PAWECA initiatives.
