Agege LGA Mobilizes Youth for Vocational Training

A new batch of youth in Agege Local Government Area has been mobilized for new session at the world class Agege Vocational Training Centre. This is coming after the graduation of about 400 youth that have been trained on various vocations over the year.

In a chat with AgegePulse at the sensitization cum orientation exercise organized for the new intakes, the Sole Administrator of Agege LGA, Hon. Olugbenga Abiola stated that acquiring a vocational skill is necessary to impart positively on the youth especially those who live and reside in Agege, stating that this type of initiative would re-orientate, reshape and redirect the youth by giving them a sense of belonging towards achieving success and enjoyment of the dividend of democracy.

He revealed that the new session is part of his plan to ensure an intensive youth empowerment programme with a curriculum to instill discipline in the youth.

 “It is more intensive than just a regular vocational training. For instance, we have tailoring programme which is a year course, the hairdressing /cosmetologist section is a 6 mo

nths course, computer studies is a three months course, computer engineering takes three months, phone engineering is three months, catering is 6 months and after the training, participants get certificate just like a diploma” S.A highlighted .

Speaking on the theme; Youth Unemployment & Role of Vocational Training to Nation Building, Agege LGA Head of Education, Mr. Peter Bamidele Adetimeyin noted that financial crisis, lack of adequate skills, as well as skills and education mismatched are major causes of unemployment in Nigeria.

detimeyin stressed that the consequences of the aforementioned causes of unemployment should endeared youth to take advantage of the practical system of vocational training, adding that university undergraduates should also consider acquiring practical skills to give them edge upon graduation. 

He affirmed that vocational training is the key to solve youth unemployment.
