New Vision Institute of Technology: A Beacon of Hope for Nigeria’s Skill Gap -By Agbenu Esther Ochoga
Let us work together to ensure that every Nigerian has the opportunity to access skills training and improve their livelihoods. The time to act is now.
“The surest way to create a prosperous and stable society is to provide individuals with the education and skills they need to succeed.” – Dr. Amina J. Mohammed, Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations.
The lack of access to skills training in Nigeria is a critical issue that affects millions of individuals. It is a major hindrance to economic growth, individual livelihoods, and national security. However, New Vision Institute of Technology is addressing this problem through its AWS re/Start program and Technological Awakening plan.
Through these initiatives, New Vision Institute of Technology is aiming to launch 2.5 million Nigerians into the global skill market, providing affordable and accessible skills training to those who need it most. The impact of this program will not only improve the country’s GDP but also reduce the risk of social instability and terrorism.
With its campus in Otukpo, Benue State, and affiliation with big tech companies in the US, New Vision Institute of Technology has the potential to make a significant impact in addressing the skills gap in Nigeria. However, this initiative needs the support of the government, non-profit organizations, and well-meaning individuals.
Therefore, we call on all stakeholders to back New Vision Institute of Technology’s AWS re/Start program and Technological Awakening plan. By supporting this initiative, we can help millions of Nigerians acquire the skills and knowledge they need to pursue meaningful careers and contribute to the growth and development of the country.
Let us work together to ensure that every Nigerian has the opportunity to access skills training and improve their livelihoods. The time to act is now.
