The Sokoto State Government in
collaboration with the Industrial Training Fund(ITF) has concluded
arrangements to train 500 youths on various vocational skills in the
state...
The state Commissioner for Youths and
Sports Development, Alhaji Musa Ausa, made this disclosure to newsmen in
Sokoto on Thursday.
Ausa said the youths would be trained on
skills such as tiles making, interlocking and baking, among others,
adding that the aim of the training was to enable youths acquire
vocational skills in order to be self reliant.
Ausa pointed out that it was only by
equipping youths with vocational skills that the rising unemployment and
other policies of the government could be achieved.
“The skill acquisition programme will
provide youths with opportunity to be useful members of the society.
This is part of efforts of the Governor Aminu Tambuwal-led
administration to empower our youths with relevant skills so as to keep
them away from idleness and crime,” he said.
