The Founder of the association, Hajiya Fatima Idris disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Bauchi on Monday.

According to her, the participants will be trained on pomade and detergent and soap making, heat balm, hair creams, among others.

“The Bauchi-based Non Governmental Organisation (NGO) will select participants among the wives of our fallen heroes and that of retired soldiers across all the 20 local government areas in the state.”
