Dangote skills acquisition centre to make our youths independent – Ganduje

From Mustapha Adamu, Kano

Governor of Kano State, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has said that his administration has established the Dangote Ultra- modern Skills Acquisition Centre in order to make youths asset, not liability in the state.
Ganduje said the centre has been established as part of his government’s commitment to address unemployment among the teeming youths in the state, which is the second most populous in the country.
He made the disclosure while conducting the Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Awwal Zubairu Gambo, and other Senior Naval Officers round some of the projects executed by his administration.
The Chief of Naval Staff Zubairu-Gambo, was in Kano for the Chief of Naval Staff Annual Conference (CONSAC), 2021.
He said that the center was named after the richest man in Africa, Aliko Dangote Ultra Modern Skills Acquisition Center, Kano in view of his efforts to establish businesses that empowers youths across the country.
“The genesis behind this project is that, Kano State is the most populous state in the federation, by implication, we have the highest number of youths.
“And if care is not taken, we will have the highest number of unemployed youths.
“Therefore, we must make our population a quality one, and without such of these centres, our population will be a liability, rather than an asset.”
