Kudos to President Buhari's led administration.The Federal Government has unveiled mobile training units for internally displaced persons, IDPs, in the country.

The facilities were commissioned over the weekend by Minister of State for Industry,Trade and Investment, Hajia Aisha Abubakar.According to her,the facilities would in no small way help the realisation of the present administration’s poverty reduction programme.Speaking further,she said the government is committed to giving IDP full support on technical and vocational training, stressing that...

“our economy must be based on sound education.
Japan, India and the Asian tiger countries advanced their economies through technical skills and vocational education, and are now world technology giants; it is because they placed such training at the front row of their national development.”

Speaking at the unveiling, Director General of Industrial Training Fund, ITF, Dr. Juliet Chukkas Onaeko, whose institution is responsible for implementation of the IDPs’ training project, said the facilities would provide skills for job components in areas of cap knitting, basic tailoring, workshops on dry season farming, computer appreciation and refrigerator repairs.

“This is part of our target of training about two million people per annum with the skills needed for employment and we would continuously drive this process of building capacity,” Onaeko stated.
