"We also understand the philosophy behind this centre which to is to make skill development training accessible to all. It's not only those of us who have BECE or WASSCE but those of us who for reasons beyond our control we were not giving the basics but we are talented, it gives us the opportunity to unearth our God-given talent.

This initiative is worth commending". What she's is doing will not only unearth talent but will manifest in job creation" she said.

It wasn’t just that it seemed out of place; it was also a little weird and didn’t match the decor.

A little secret you should know first - the parrot is an all-hearing one, and it will spill all the secrets it's heard at 9 pm today. It’s about to be pure mayhem, and we are here for it! For the past two weeks, the parrot has carefully listened to all the drama and gossip in the house, and it is time for the parrot to do what parrots know how to do best, gossip. Big Brother will bring the parrot to life for the first time today, Friday, August 4, at 9 pm, and you best believe the drama is about to go up a notch higher.
