The National Directorate of Employment (NDE) has begun the training of 30 youths on waste recycling and enterprising skills in Bauchi State.
NDE’s Coordinator, Mr Lawan Yaya, stated this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), on Tuesday in Bauchi.
He said the training exercise was being implemented under the Enviropreneurship Development Scheme (EDS) of the directorate.
The scheme, he said, would provide youths with on-the-job training, entrepreneurship skills and how to recycle waste to develop products and services.
Yaya said the trainees had been posted to a company where waste such as polythene bags, plastic bottles, groundnut and corn chaffs were being processed into income generating items.
“It is a three months training programme and each of the trainee would receive N5,000 monthly stipend.
“The EDS is geared towards improving environmental sustainability to increase socio-economic activities, generate employment opportunities, reduce poverty and enhance wealth creation in the country,” he said.
The coordinator, therefore, urged the trainees to make optimal use of the knowledge gained to create wealth for themselves.
