UNIDO Lauds Anambra Govt For Building Capacity Of Teachers

The United Nations Industrial Development Organisation has commended the Anambra State Government for investing in teacher education.

UNIDO regional director, Mr Jean Bakole who made the commendation said Governor Willie Obiano had provided the enabling environment as well as financial resources for capacity training of teachers in the state to equip them with the requisite skills for a twenty-first century technology.

Mr Bakole reassured the state government of the organisation’s continued collaboration on skills and entrepreneurship capacity building for the youth.

He noted that for Nigeria to confront skill challenges, there is need for government and critical stakeholders to promote entrepreneurship capable of creating jobs, wealth and build a resilient and inclusive economy.

He said UNIDO as a specialized agency of the United Nations promotes inclusive and sustainable industrialization in developing countries and economies, adding that their activities in Nigeria as contained in the Country Programme and endorsed by the Federal Government fall under three thematic areas, poverty reduction through productive activities.

In addition, UNIDO promotes and supports capacity building with a focus on women and youth to equip them with the necessary knowledge and skills for improved livelihood, gain control of their lives and exert influence in society.

One of such partnerships is the collaboration between UNIDO and the Anambra State Government.

The collaboration which came into existence following a Trust Fund Agreement signed between UNIDO and the Anambra State Government in 2017, had rewarded three schools in the state for emerging winners in the annual Business Plan competition for secondary schools.
