The Industrial Training Fund (ITF) has stressed the need for the Federal Government to invest in skills acquisition as a veritable alternative to white-collar jobs.

ITF Director-General, Joseph Ari, who made this call yesterday in Abuja while addressing a press conference, said countries like Germany, Switzerland, Malaysia, Brazil and China stand out in their effective utilisation of skills acquisition model to bring the problem of unemployment and poverty to manageable levels.

According to the ITF boss, unlike other countries, several surveys have revealed that rather than the absence of jobs, the country has more to do with the absence of technical skills, coupled with skills mismatch that has led to a situation that even where vacancies exist, there are arguably no qualified Nigerians to fill them.

Ari disclosed that the ITF and the Nigeria Employers’ Consultative Association have given birth to a Technical Skills Development Project , which is a joint initiative of the two agencies to tame the menace of youth unemployment and poverty in Nigeria.
