Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, has said that his administration would focus on strengthening technical and vocational training as part of efforts to address unemployment in the State.
Governor Abiodun who stated this when he received the Accountant General of the Federation , Mrs. Oluwatoyin Madein in his office, at Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, at the weekend said unemployment has become an issue that needed urgent attention to avoid its repercussions.
He said: “We have the highest number of educational institutions in Nigeria and that in itself presents another set of problems. When you are graduating so many students every year and if they are idle, then you have a problem and you need to begin to think ahead. “There, they are properly trained, paid and certified so that when they leave, they are also provided with facility like loan that allows them to start up their trade and that account for the biggest backbone of their Small and Medium Scale Enterprise.”
The governor said his administration’s vision when he assumed office, was fashioned on creating an enabling environment, using the Public Private Partnership to engender State and individual prosperity, emphasizing that critical sectors of the economy like good roads, power, educational and healthcare facilities as well as housing, have been provided.
“It is our prayers that the Almighty God will grant you the grace to make the best out of it and you will continue to make your family and your state proud.”
