National Directorate of Employment (NDE) in Niger state has commenced the training of 200 unemployed youths in cosmetology so as to be self employed and reliant.
The State Coordinator, Alhaji Abdulmalik Abubakar Liman made this known yesterday at the official commencement of the training in Abdulsalam Youth Center, Minna, saying that this is under Vocational Skills Development Programme of the agency.
He stated that “the time if waiting for white colour jobs is over globally because those jobs are not available hence the need for skills acquisition to be self employed and economically reliant”.
