National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, has partnered the Federal Government of Nigeria on skills and vocational training for students.
The association said it believed that if students are skillfully and vocationally sound, it would enhance the creation of jobs and reduced the unemployment rate among the twenty million jobless youths,
NANS made this passionate plea before the Vice President of Nigeria, Professor Yemi Osinbajo in Abuja on Wednesday.
Led by its Global President, Comrade Danielson Bamidele Akpan, the delegation of Nigerian Students and stakeholders proposed that the Federal Government establishes a programme that would benefit Nigerian students.
NANS lauded the Vice President for his commitment to a better Nigeria and for his loyalty to President Muhammadu Buhari.
Comrade Akpan, also extolled the Vice President for his exemplary leadership quality, patriotism, loyalty and dedication to the betterment of Nigerians at the grassroots level through the National Social Investment Programme.

In response to the request, Professor Osinbajo thanked the delegation for the visit and commended the initiative of the Global President while promising further collaboration between the office of the Vice President, FG and NANS.
