STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE
AT NASARAWA HCD STRATEGY DOCUMENT LAUNCH:
Under Tinubu, Weāll Reverse Growing Unemployment Rate, VP Shettima Vows
*** Says Nigerians must begin to export skills, compete at highest levels internationally
āThe unemployment rates, the growing informal sector, and low labour force participation must be reversed. This is the dystopia our Human Capital Development Programme is designed to avert, under the mandate of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu,ā he said.
āFor so long, at the National Economic Council, we have debated the ideal nation we wish to build and the pathways to achieve it.
āEnough of the distressing data on our education systemāwhether it is the mean years of schooling, the high pupil-to-teacher ratios, or the staggering number of youths not in employment, education, or training.ā
According to him, the unveiling of a blueprint for Nasarawaās human capital challenges reaffirms the administrationās commitment to tackle the unique realities of each state.
āNasarawa stateās commitment to the Human Capital Development (HCD) Programme, a lifeline for our nation, is built on the collective realisation that enough is enough,ā he said.
āEnough of the cycles that have held us back. Enough of the legacies of unplanned high fertility rates and alarming maternal and under-five mortality rates. Enough of our vulnerable populations facing low life expectancy,ā Shettima stated.
