The Vice Chancellor of Godfrey Okoye University signs an MoU with the International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD) for the building of an Institute of Practical Skills and Start up Centre at Godfrey Okoye University. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Multi million Euro project, which has Andreas Gebebauer\nas project Director and Manfred Jaeger as the Architect, is promoted by the Director\nof ICMPD, Dr. Michael Spendelegger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The plan is to train 1000 Nigerians in different practical\nskills and make startup funds available to them when they have acquired the\nskills to enable them start their own business or company. At least 300 hundred\nwomen must be among the trainees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, there will be an Industrial park close to the Centre where about 10 companies will be established to provide the practical training to the trainees as well as do their businesses and carry out their productions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Centre will help reduce the influx of Nigerians to\nEurope and provide jobs to those who willingly return from Europe. The project\nis expected to commence before the end of this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Vice president, Yemi Osinbajo, while speaking at the\nAfrica – Europe high level forum in Austria, https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-8ll2HJtCfo\nhas lauded the partnership between the university and the ICMPD, describing it\nas a step in the right direction to build a digital economy in Nigeria and the\nrest of Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clearly, this pilot project in Nigeria has placed Godfrey\nOkoye University on the front burner, way ahead of its contemporaries and on\nthe international map.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
