The Federal Government is set to pilot the National Artisan Skills Acquisition Programme (NASAP) this year, targeting 3,000 artisans for six months of intensive training across three selected states in 10 high-demand construction trades.
The initiative is aimed at equipping Nigerian youth with practical, market-ready skills while improving housing quality and addressing the shortage of skilled labour in the construction sector.
The Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Arc. Ahmed Musa Dangiwa presented NASAP to stakeholders at the 6th National Council on Skills, chaired by Vice President Senator Kashim Shettima, according to a statement published on Sunday on the Ministry’s website.
