August 11, 2025 – The Adamawa State government has clarified that the list of successful candidates for the PAWECA Technical Skills Acquisition entrance exams is different from the PAWECA Fintiri Business Wallet initiative for small-scale business owners.
According to Pius Iliya, Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on media and publicity, “The 40,000 beneficiaries of the PAWECA empowerment funds are just waiting for disbursement, which will be done at the end of this month by God’s grace.”
He explained that over 6,000 shortlisted candidates for the Technical Skills Acquisition program in batch 1 will soon begin training at various centers across the state, while batch 2 will join them later. Iliya urged the public to understand that both programs are separate and serve different empowerment purposes.
