Industrial Training Fund (ITF) has decried the soaring poverty and unemployment, reportedly affecting about 90 million Nigerians.

According to the Fund, the unemployed are desirous to work, but cannot find jobs, due to the absence of requisite skills.

Ari, however, regretted that in the face of the above, the country’s population continued to soar, with the World Bank estimating that it might hit 216 million by the end of 2022. Harping on the need to fully acquaint the public with ITF’s plans, Ari said the ‘Strategic Policy Direction’ was the third of such plans by his administration, sequel to the 2016 plan he unveiled on assumption of office entitled ‘Strategy for Mandate Actualisation.’

Despite the numerous achievements of the Fund on account of the initiatives, he noted: “We have realised that more needs to be done, if we must fully tackle the numerous socio-economic problems bedeviling us as a nation.
