Dangote Begins Construction Of N160m Skills Centre In Kogi
Speaking at the ground breaking ceremony on Friday, the president of the Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, said the state-of-the-art skill centre was meant to support the development initiatives of the state government.
“Dangote Automation Skills Development Centre will help revive and develop technical skills in the country, and as well provide jobs for the youths,” he said.
Dangote, who was represented by the managing director of the Obajana Cement Plant, Mr J.V. Gungune, said such centre has become necessary in view of the fact that the federal government has prioritized technical skills development and empowerment for Nigerian youths.
Chairman of the Project Implementation Committee (PIC) and an executive director in the Dangote Group, Engineer Mansur Ahmed, said the governor of the state, Captain Idris Wada, and the president of the Dangote Group were the brains behind the project, adding that they expected the project, when completed, to make Nigerian youths self employed and employable at the same time.
