“Technical and vocational training is the answer to the progress of every citizen in our missed careers,and an opportunity to grow our skills.”Said Dr. Wamamili.
Furthermore, he stated that graduates will be able to be self-employed as a result of the skills they have obtained, providing job opportunities and lowering unemployment among them, as well as development to combat poverty and conserve the environment in the country.
