Instructors, who imparted basic skills to the youths, encouraged them to venture into entrepreneurship and utilise their newfound talents for self-employment.
Speaking to reporters during the graduation ceremony, the Director General of the Institute, Comrade Issa Aremu, underscored the importance of skills acquisition and entrepreneurship in combating rising unemployment rates in Nigeria. He emphasised the shift towards promoting employability through practical skills, aligning with the vision of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

He urged the graduates to continually upgrade their knowledge, highlighting the transformative power of education.
