Nigeria needs to create more jobs for its teeming youth population. To this end, Vice President @ProfOsinbajo last week inaugurated the National Council on Skills, with a mandate to among other things formulate policies, plans and strategies for skills development in the country.
“The Council will direct the conduct of regular skills survey to identify the skills gap in the country so that training will be demand-based and to fast track the institutionalization of the National Skills Qualification Framework in Nigeria.” — Vice President @ProfOsinbajo
The Council will also enforce legislation on the use of certified professionals in the country.

According to the VP, the Council, which is the highest decision-making body on skills development in Nigeria, “is a major step forward for us in our human resource development plan”.

BOOM 💥

This is Senator James Manager, PDP-Delta South, who is serving his 5th term in the Senate. Couple of weeks ago, President Buhari ordered a FORENSIC AUDIT of the NIGER DELTA DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION (NDDC) books from 2001 to date, and at a Press Conference yesterday,
the Executive Director of Projects, Cairo Ojougboh declared that Senator James Manager alone handles 300 CONTRACTS & while none has been executed, 120 have been fully paid for. And while the NDDC is yet to complete its HQTRS, it owes some phantom contractors THREE TRILLION NAIRA.
Unfortunately, the Niger Deltans keep blaming the North for their UNDERDEVELOPMENT but, they can’t simply understand that their REGIONAL LEADERS are the ARCHITECTS of their WOES.

Meanwhile, JAMES MANAGER is a graduate wt different categories of Certificates but he’s a big THIEF!

A gang of rogue contractors led by Nnamdi Okyka in collaboration with Acting MD, Nelson Braimbraifa, and his board at the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, have fleeced the agency of over N750billion within the first three months of the new board.
Samuel Adjogbe, the Executive Director of Finance who is also the coordinating officer of the fraud in NDDC sells back dated contract papers for between $80,000 to $200,000. He boasted to have made so much money that he is willing to pay N10billion bribe to be confirmed MD.
Chris Amadi, Acting Director of Finance makes sure all the phony contracts are paid for. They all make returns to Rotimi Amaechi, who is The godfather of all appointees at the NDDC. Documents available to me shows contract inflations for mere repair of few meter roads.
