As part of incentives to boost technological innovations among youths in the country, the iCreate Skill Fest has said it would hold a SkillsFest technical and vocational skill competition titled ‘The Olympics of Technical Skills’ in Abuja next month.

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) iCreate Skill Fest, Mr Bright JaJa, said yesterday in Abuja that the event was a platform for youths to showcase technical and vocational skills as it will also empower them to meet global standard.

He said that the iCreate Skill Fest 2018 edition would host a participation of 150 competitors across 17 Skill Sets including tailoring, art, photography, web design, app development and graphics design among others.

According to him, the government over the years had invested considerable efforts on improving university education with insignificant attention paid to technical and vocational education.
