He said upon completion of the training, all participants would be issued with a certificate of attendance which would give them the opportunity to secure job placement anywhere in the world as the certificate is recognized globally.

Earlier, the Senior Information Officer of MAAUN, Dr. Musa Abdullahi Sufi lauded the Founder and Chairman Governing Council of MAAUN conglomerate, Prof. Adamu Abubakar Gwarzo for bringing the program to the university as part of an effort to promote internationalisation.

Dr. Sufi added that the seminar would also give the students the opportunity to compete favourably with their peers as they would be linked up with the network of international experts for building skills and value addition.

He expressed commitment to coaching the young talents through project-based learning to enable them become solution-oriented students for the development of the society.

Highlights of the program include, group discussion, brainstorming and presentation on various societal challenges by the participating students.
