For Sakinat Mukhtar Yusuf, it was her teacher, Tahir Abdullahi, who told her about PIN's training program and paid for her application form while she was writing her secondary school exit exams. "He made it clear to me that as soon as I finish my exams, I should join the program" 
"I felt very excited because of my interest in learning about computers and other skills that could help me. I started attending the program immediately after I finished my secondary school exit (SSCE) exams," said Sakinat. #EchoesFromLIFE
"The first time I went to the training centre to resume classes, I wasn't allowed in because I was 3 minutes late😳 I was very frustrated because I was eager to start learning from the training. Hence, from the next day, I started - and kept - coming on time." #EchoesFromLIFE
"When, as part of our training, I was asked to stand in front of my colleagues to address them, it was a challenge for me and I found it very difficult. That's no longer my story," said Sakinat Mukhtar Yusuf. #EchoesFromLIFE
"Before I joined PIN's LIFE training program, I thought it was difficult to start and operate a business without a huge amount of money as capital but as my training continued, I learnt that operating some businesses doesn’t require a huge amount of capital."
"Before my training, I was working as a tailor, sewing clothes for women. My new skills are helping me in my business, for example I can now advertise on social media! I encourage Nigerian youth to be self-reliant and not depend completely on government to provide you with a job"
