Kwara Varsity to Train Unemployed Youths

Date: 2013-05-14

The Vice Chancellor of  Kwara State University, Malete, Prof. AbdulRasheed  Na'Allah, says the institution is collaborating with the state government to train unemployed youths in the state.

Na'Allah disclosed this on Monday in  Malete in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

He said the university was  embarking on the initiative  to eradicate  poverty  and  unemployment among school leavers in the state.

Na'Allah said the programme was also aimed at complementing government's efforts in the  generation of employment opportunities.

The vice chancellor,  who did not disclose the number of youths to be trained under the programme,  said the university's Centre for Entrepreneurship had  already registered some youths for the exercise.

He advised youths in the state to take advantage of the programme by engaging in profitable ventures.

Na'Allah,  who described youths as the bedrock of  society and future leaders,  expressed the commitment of the university to engaging  youths in meaningful ventures.

According to him, the university is committed to taking its entrepreneurship scheme to some secondary schools in the country.

Reacting to  the mass failure in  the just concluded Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), the don attributed the development  to lack of seriousness on the part of students.

He, however, advised the three tiers of government to invest more in education and create an enabling environment for teachers in order to address mass failure in public examinations. (NAN)
