Earlier, the National  Programme Director, COR Africa- Nigeria, Dr. Jimoh Odunayo, stressed that his organization which had previously  provided skill acquisition programmes /livelihood support for  the refugees  embarked on the training of a thousand refugees to close the gap existing between the training that the refugees had received from implementing partners.
