In her remarks, the Principal, Hajiya Hadiza Bello Umar, explained that the aim of the event was to create awareness about the importance of vocational education, appreciate and motivate students’ efforts and talents, as well as to encourage creativity and self-reliance among young girls.

She further noted that such exhibitions help students build confidence, showcase their practical skills, promote innovation, and inspire other schools to embrace vocational training as a key component of education.
