"Even though you have a Job already and you are earning like one million naira, it is still not enough, because you should not rely on one source of income, it is important for you to have another job which SAED is all about
SAED is for your own benefit, if you key into it, it is your gain for life"
"We are here to encourage you, no matter how tight your schedule is, you should learn a skill, as many as possible"
