The Industrial Training Fund rolled out plans to pump up technician skills through their SUPA program, and director Afiz Ogun dropped by the Lanre Shittu Motor plant in Lagos to lock down partnerships. The fund wants to move past just handing out starter packs because those apparently send people back to square one, so they built out a business incubation setup that helps trainees launch their own operations after finishing courses in electrical work, plumbing, fashion design, and ICT.
Taiwo Shittu from LSM praised the collaboration and mentioned his company runs three training centers across different states that gear up auto technicians with modern equipment before shipping them off to customers for jobs. Ogun said thousands of artisans have already gone through the program, and the whole thing aims to hit international certification standards while closing Nigeria's skills gap in various industries.
