In a bid to reposition the economy, President BOLA TINUBU has directed the Industrial Training Fund (ITF) to upgrade the skills of no fewer than twenty million artisans within the next five years.

ITF’s Director General, AFIZ OLUWATOYIN explained that the initiative was aimed at ensuring that artisans in the country can compete favourably with their peers abroad.

OLUWATOYIN maintained that the President TINUBU-led administration is bent on reversing the ugly trends whereby well-skilled and equipped artisans from abroad take up local jobs meant for artisans in the country.
