In fulfilling the mandate of promoting skills acquisition in the country, the Industrial Training Fund , in partnership with Sightsavers, an international non-governmental organisation that promotes disability rights, has trained 32 Nigerians in different skills.

“There is a physically challenged Act today in Nigeria, therefore as an agency that caters for the growth and development of youths and women through skills acquisition, we have decided to focus our attention on the physically challenged so they can acquire different skills and contribute their quota to national development because we believe there is ability in disability.”

“Now that you have acquired these special skills, I urge you to deploy it into judicious use so you can contribute your quota to the growth and development of the country, because the ultimate aim of this training is to reduce youth unemployment and the agency is always committed to support the physically challenged in any capacity,” he further stated.

“We are building the disability confidence of employers, job readiness of young persons with disabilities and supporting government agencies to ensure their programmes promote disability inclusive economic empowerment.
