The Governor of Borno State, Prof. Babagana Zulum has expressed the readiness of his governments to partner with the Industrial Training Fund (ITF) to empower the youths of the state with requisite vocational skills for self-reliance and sustainability. Prof. Zulum said his visit and tour of the facilities at the Model Skills Training Centre was to enable the Government to understudy the system and deploy the same in the state. Zulum who was impressed by the state-of-the-art equipment at the centre said Borno State would partner the ITF in Electrical Installations, Mechatronics, Plumbing, and Culinary services as well as to adapt the Training Centre’s model for the skills acquisition centres already established in Borno State.
