Ondo state Agric Business Empowerment Agency will start producing lawyers’ wigs for the Nigerian Law School, it has been disclosed.

The chairman of the agency, Mr. Akin Olotu disclosed this in a chat with The Hope in Akure, Ondo state.

Olotu said an arrangement has been reached by the school authority with the agency on the number of wigs to be produced for them annually.

Olotu, who is also the Senior Special Assistant to the state Governor on Agriculture said samples of the wigs were earlier presented during the last lawyers conference and the Legal Week for acceptance .

On the production of the wigs, he said Ondo state women and youths have been trained, as the first batch, on  Sericulture and traditional cloth weaving using modern loom so that they can further train others within their communities and local government areas.

The women, he said were drawn from the three senatorial districts of the state while some were from the National Council of Women Society.

According to him, the training which is a continuous one is targeted towards competing with the leading producer of weaved cloth in the country when the weavers might have rose to about 200 in the state.

It will further be an avenue to alleviate poverty which will help the women to be proud of themselves at their respective homes while supporting the family.

 ”The women can stay back at home and be doing weaving and at the end of the day, they would make more money, to support the family and take care of their children”, he explained.
