According to him, the ability of government to continue to provide adequate and appropriate training for the nation’s teeming youths relied critically on the establishment of some form of sustainability.
Agwai, who was represented by the Project Technical Adviser on TVET, Mr. Olukayode Soremekun disclosed that “additional skills training effort is planned to impact more than 5000 beneficiaries who have indicated interest on SURE-P portal.”
He added that SURE-P would soon graduate over 5,000 Nigerians who are currently undergoing client-based training in different entities under the SURE-P TVET.
Commissioning the training centres, Minister of Labour and Productivity Chief Emeka Wogu urged the youths to take advantage of the centres, while calling on those particularly in the North East to embrace the project, which he said “is better than taking to insurgency and other activities which are inimical to the growth of the region.”
