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”.
