The office of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP) and the National Power Training Institute of Nigeria (NAPTIN) say they are collaborating to train
In a statement signed by the special assistant to the PAP interim administrator, Freston Akpor, the collaboration will ensure that NAPTIN trains the ex-agitators as part of the non-formal education vocational training scheme of the Presidential Amnesty Programme.
According to the statement, the latest collaboration formed part of discussions held when the NAPTIN director-general, Mr. Ahmed Bolaji Nagode and his management team paid a courtesy visit to the PAP interim administrator, Major-Gen. Ndiomu . Nagode expressed the institute’s readiness to partner with the PAP in broader areas to build the capacity of ex-agitators and youths in the Niger Delta to play critical roles in the power and related sectors.
“Youths from the Niger Delta who undergo the training scheme would not only become self-reliant but also job creators and employers of labour who would grow the nation, improve human capital and make Nigeria better economically,” he said. The director-general highlighted three key areas for skills acquisition and development in the power sector, namely: solar PV installation, mini grid and metering which according to him, would enhance job creation and help ex-agitators to become independent.
