I'm not ignorant of the fact that in order for me to always be on the media, I have to spend some amount of money and the funds is not really available for publicity.

killsSMAGAZINEYou can do it yourself...

Mr. Ayo MesiemaYes, because I am a benefactor of a skill acquisition program. In fact, what I am doing is not what I read in school. So, if I had not acquired that skill probably I would not have had something doing today.I certainly recommend it also for parent, I know vocational education is not enough. You must have skills most especially in Nigeria today. Skills are very important.

To me, skill is more like the most important thing right now anyone can think of. Come to think of it, we have so many graduates. It is no longer the latest trend. Being a graduate is like the least certificate you can even have and if you get into the labour market you will see many of them (graduates). You have so much competition here and there, so what is your stand if you become a graduate today? I think the best thing is for you to get out there, to get involved in one skill (handwork) or the other. You could be self employed. There are so many skills you can learn out there that are really helpful and that reduce crime and other things like prostitution.So, I feel skill is very important for every youth today and I recommend it for every youth in the society.

WHAT IS THE ROLE OF SKILL IN THE SOCIETY

Nigerians speak

Mrs Egioma Eboku Yes. If he or she is old enough. It depends on the age. At the end, she will acquire more knowledge on how

to carry out these various skill like

baking, hair dressing and others.

Charles EkonseYes, because, with the way Nigeria is now, I think somebody with skill can survive. But without skill he may be dancing around just like that. So, I will always recommend it for people and for my children.

We asked some responsible parents the question: Would you allow your child to run a skills program?Here are their answers.

Uduka OjiYes. Because

with technology now somebody can

have skills and he can open a shop for himself and even employ others. So, it will be good for the child.
