Dangote Foundation 2020 Vocational Skills Training Programme for Nigerian Youths
Suitable qualified applicants are invited for the Dangote Foundation 2020 Vocational Skills Training Programme for Nigerian Youths.

The initiatives offers high-quality education and training to young Nigerians who seek to acquire skills in mechanical and electrical technology. The training programme is based on the German model of track vocational training.
