The Kogi State House of Assembly has urged the state government under the leadership of Governor Ahmed Ododo to urgently undertake the comprehensive rehabilitation and upgrade of Government Technical College, Ankpa, and other technical colleges across the state. Moving the motion on the floor of the House, Akus expressed concern over what he described as the “severe infrastructural decay, inadequate equipment and non-functional facilities” at Government Technical College, Ankpa. However, its current state has limited its capacity to meet contemporary technical education standards and the evolving needs of society,” Akus added. The lawmaker stressed the need for Kogi State to position itself among the most competitive states in Nigeria in skills acquisition and technical competence. With the adoption of the motion, the House reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening technical education as a pathway to youth empowerment, job creation and sustainable development in Kogi State.
