Senator Kashim Shettima (Borno Central) has empowered 1,000 youths and women in the state with machines and other trade kits.
The beneficiaries were drawn from his senatorial district, comprising eight councils.
According to the former governor, the over 4,000 empowerment tools for sewing, knitting and shoe-making are for women in Internally-Displaced Persons (IDPs) camps.
