dedicate a song 2 him. Pls play him Godwin by
(Korede Bello) because as for me I don get Alert!!

onatisi:
so what is the difference? Either way government is involved . The point is to get the nation youth trained and skilled

the difference is not to make baseless declaration and laws, foreign skil encourages innovation.

The important thing is not reactivating those centers. The important thing is to get Nigerian youths to forgo quick money and have the patience to learn and practice with little pay before claiming they are professionals. The process of apprenticeship - to - jointman or journeyman (worker no longer an apprentice and work for someone who still monitor his work) - to - master must be entrenched.
Problem is no Nigerian youth have the patience to even complete the apprenticeship talkless of horning his/her skill before claiming to be a master. The foreign mason, pop workers, tile layers, etc our construction companies prefer all went through this process. So it is not only about training, they must have the patience to practice before becoming proficient

SweetIfeomaMba:


I told u yesterday that you are semi literate.

If you don't know that Multinational companies employ expatriate welders, fabricators and other laymen, then you are a big illiterate

Dont let your hate for Buhari stop you from recognizing a constructive policy

Not only big companies ooo. Anybody with small money that want to use good finishing in his house will not dare employ Nigerian workers to do his POP or lay his tiles. That is the truth

lmm4real:
Some poo from Julius Berger one stupid company that u have to bring letter of recommendation from a serving senator or Governor Before u can be accepted for industrial Training or NYSC.

Let me attempt to change ur frame of mind, you know 12 years ago,I wanted to learn first hand (mechanic) mind I I had a 1st degree in mech Engin from ESUT.The garage I went to was i n finchley road Camden(london).I wanted to attend on saturday only.I have to go fru more than what you where requested by JB to bring.I have to be insured by the govt.The govt have to pay the garage to train me.There was loads of other stuff demanded, at teh end I could not meet up.As u can see, we tend to take things 4 granted in Nigeria, check if U had to pay JB to learn from them

Lol, Only jobless and fake Construction workers from European countries now risk coming to Nigeria for work.
No European skilled engineer can come to work in Boko infested Nigeria, no matter how much you want to pay.

nnachukz:
joblessness may remain your portion. I'm not you, not everybody is jobless like you. I just aired my neutral opinion on the topic based on the current political statements and counter-statements which have dominated our political sphere these days. Your blabbing is uncalled for.

Hey guy I didn't curse you. I just aired my opinion based on what you wrote. Your unnecessary curse is uncalled for.

Don't take it personal guy. Try and be optimistic next time.

This guy is a joke, Buhari is grossly incapable of leading Nigeria.

This was the same failed method Buhari used in the 80s by expelling 700,000 migrants, did it help our economy?
Buhari should be told you have more Nigerians in Ghana and other west African countries than you have aliens here.
Expect tit for tat reactions from our neighbours.

can u even see sense in ur words? how will he create jobs for us if we don't reduce foreign workers?.....can't we have geniuses down here?.....Stop portraying ursef as daft because u are not.....be objective

Trust APC by this time tmrw Lie mohammed will deny this promise...

but they have been doing that to Nigerians in other countries. even Ghana deports Nigerians. all foreigners should go cos they re not much use to us, we re the ones that do the labour work and they only sit in the car and a/c offices and give instructions, if they leave we will manage our country ourselves. we serve them in their country and we also serve them in ur country so wats the use for them to be here?

do u mean y for ynash or y for the topic?

These are problems that would be solved by restructuring our wider system of education, to include at it's core science education in native language.

Indeed, Africa cannot develop without investment in grassroots science.

From the Article...

[size=13pt]President Muhammadu Buhari Friday in Abuja directed the Federal Ministries of Works and Lands, Housing and Urban Development to urgently prepare and present for approval and implementation, a plan of action for the speedy revitalisation and expansion of the nation’s vocational training centres.
President Buhari gave the directive after being told at a meeting with the board of directors of a leading construction company in the country that because of a shortage of competent construction workers and artisans in the country, many construction companies were forced to bring in skilled workers from abroad.
Observing that this practice was very detrimental to his administration’s commitment to boost employment opportunities for young Nigerians, President Buhari pledged that his administration would move quickly to address the shortage of skilled construction workers in the country

Read before commenting.

...and nowhere in that quote did it say Nigerian construction workers would learn to build medieval-styled castles. Your point is what again?

It will all work well soon for the betterment of all

It's a welcomed move. U know how many Chinese CCECC brings to Nigeria? Frankly its highly welcomed & can create jobs in dat sector.

Also improve d skills of Nigerians.

So oga! Relax.

Don't ask why.

At least least you're competent in one thing; inanity.

Next time learn to comprehend sentences properly before hitting the quote function.

Buhari tried similar tactics in the 80s by expelling 700,000 Ghanaians, what good did it do to our economy or to the unemployed?

This is grandstanding by an inept and direction-less President. This would only appease our patriotism but nothing else, if it didn't work in the 80s it wouldn't work now.
I don't subscribe to European Technicians posing as Engineers here, but the people Bubu wants to repatriate are West African artisans. We signed ECOWAS protocol on free movement for a reason and those in fear of repatriations are brick and block layers, carpenters, painters, welders, fabricators, plumbers. Those jobs can hardly be described as jobs by Europeans.

What happens when our neighbours retaliate?

Ok let me clear your, down here with JB it is either u bring a letter of recommendation from a serving top government official or a serving senator, some one they can seek favour from if the need arises.
I was just a young copper then with no connections. But I later got a job with a government agency where part of my work schedule was to vet and recommend their structural drawings for approval or disapproval.

Only if you know how many artisans are brought into the country on a monthly basis to work on construction site. I worked on a DFID project some 5-6 years back. Dangote had to import over 3000 Chinese artisans for a particular construction site because the Nigerians available were not skilled enough. we do not have a proper vocational/trade schools to train Nigerians in trade skills like carpentry, welding, pipefitting, iron working, electrical, instrumentation e.t.c. Imagine if the 3000 Chinese workers were Nigerians, do you have an idea of how many mouths the earnings would feed?

BlackrulesDworld:
Importation needs to be block and ban too. I believe Nigeria can survive without importation of any goods.

You're a clown. Nigeria that barely has any manufacturing sector is the one you're saying can survive without any importation. We barely produce anything of our own apart from some food items. If you ban all importation the economy will not last up to six months before collapsing.

This is the kind of initiative I expected from a vibrant and articulate President not 5k for the unemployed graduates. Great move, PMB.

If there were Nigerians capable of doing those jobs, Dangote wouldn't go to China to recruit. Lets train enough Nigerians before asking the immigrants to leave, except we want shoddy work, in which case we can ask them to leave and deploy substandard craftsmen to do jobs meant for qualified artisans.

charix:

It's not my fault they studied hopeless courses in a hopeless country. They should find other nations where their skills are in demand.
All I know is for what I've in my mind the importation of both labour and materials is needed. No government in power should kill my dream if not I'd swear a local deity on whoever is in power.

Engineering is a hopeless course?

shut up already.

IlekeHD:


Engineering is a hopeless course?

shut up already.

If they can't find jobs after school then it's hopeless.

speedyGonzales:
well, are this companies not required by law to employ Nigerians as a majority?

It's not always possible except you want the company to close shop and leave the country. A good example is in the oil fields, philipino, Indians, north americans, and European trades people are flown in as expatriates to calibrate instruments and work as roughnecks.

why not Nigerians? There are Nigerians but very few. It takes at least 4 years of training (trade school and work experience) to become competent enough to work on some of these equipments that cost thousands to millions of dollars.

By eliminating foreign workers, we will be creating jobs for our citizens. Ode, will you think beyond N5000?
