IgbereTV reports that Africa’s most successful entrepreneur and philanthropist, Aliko Dangote has said his company, Dangote Group, will provide expertise for the multi-billion naira skills acquisition centre recently built by Governor Umar Abdullahi Ganduje in Kano State.
Dangote said this when he paid an unscheduled visit to the Centre, Dangote inspected the world class training equipment and promised to provide experts to manage the Centre.
He said his support to the Centre was borne out of the need to complement the initiative of the Ganduje administration geared at bridging skills gap in the country and addressing unemployment among Nigerian youths.
