NANS Praises Kaduna's Vocational Skills Centres Initiative

The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) commended the Kaduna State government for its initiative in establishing vocational skills centres across the state, urging other governors to replicate this model. NANS national president, Akinteye Babatunde Afeez, made this statement during an inspection of a vocational skills centre in Kaduna.

He noted that the centre exemplified the importance of combining classroom education with vocational training, equipping youth with practical skills. Afeez described the facility as impressive, featuring modern amenities for skills acquisition.

He acknowledged Governor Uba Sani for enhancing access to vocational training, reporting that approximately 4,000 students had graduated from these centres in the state's three senatorial districts. The centre offers training in various fields, including solar installation and carpentry, and also produces school uniforms and office furniture, potentially reducing government costs.

Afeez encouraged beneficiaries to utilize their skills productively and share their knowledge with others.
