Taraba State Government is to establish one Skills Acquisition Center in each of the Senatorial zones of the State to encourage entrepreneurship development.

Governor Darius Dickson Ishaku disclosed this while
inspecting the abandoned premises of Ministry of Works in Takum Local Government Area which may be
converted to one of the centers.
The harsh economic realities confronting many
Nigerians suggest that Government at all levels
must seek ways of creating jobs and wealth for
the people.
One of such measures is the encouragement
of entrepreneurship by providing adequate
skill training in manufacturing and
production of goods to individuals, who will
end up self reliant and employers of labour.
Governor Darius Dickson Ishaku after inspecting
the abandoned State Ministry of Works Office in
Takum said, the place is likely to be converted to
a Skills Acquisition Center since it already has a
work shop and it is nearer to the town.
He revealed that the Government has already
contacted some experts from Germany for grant
in the provision of equipment and training of
participants.

As many State Governments blame the delay in
the payment of workers salaries on the present
economic recession, and many companies are
laying off some of their staff to cut cost of
operation, Governor Ishaku is hopeful that
entrepreneurship remains the best option for
jobs and wealth creation in order to overcome
the challenge.
He said all the necessary framework will be put
in place to ensure the sustainability of the
programme to prevent abandonment after his
tenure.
