Polaris Bank has been commended for her commitment to skills acquisition and empowerment of women in Nigeria.

This commendation was given at the graduation and anniversary ceremony of the International Women’s Society (IWS) Skills Acquisition Center, Lekki Lagos which was held recently.

The event, which took place at the IWS Skills Acquisition Center, was graced by the former Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Oluranti Adebule amidst other eminent dignitaries; as well as Management of the center, a statement made available to PREMIUM TIMES, highlighted.

The erstwhile Deputy Governor, expressed delight at the level of work that is being done at the center to elevate the socio-economic status of women in the state and country at large, adding that such exercise would promote the springing up of more micro enterprises, thereby addressing the scourge of unemployment in the state, especially among the womenfolk.

She extolled the quality of vocational skills provided to empower women, noting that, “The IWS Skills Acquisition Center was established to create empowerment opportunities and promote self-reliance, thus alleviating poverty and increasing the level of literacy and vocational skills among women.”
