LG offers 300 youth skill training
Port Harcourt City
local government area of Rivers State has trained more than 300 youth
in different skills, the chairman, Azubuike Nmerukini, said.
Mr. Nmerukini said
at the weekend that the youth received training for more than six
months in welding, carpentry, hairdressing, Information Communication
Technology, fashion, and design.
He said the council
would give the trainees take-off grants, adding that work on the
council’s skill acquisition centre had reached an advanced stage and
would be used to train future trainees.
“The aim is to make
them self-reliant or employed and thereafter train others from their
communities to be self-employed. The local government thought it wise
that in any society, everybody must not be a pen pusher and as such, we
set up skill acquisition programmes,” he said.
