In a bid to create a strategic response to the deepening shortage of skilled artisans in Nigeria’s construction sector, the federal ministry of housing and urban development has formally designed and presented the National Artisan Skills Acquisition Programme (NASAP).
The minister of Housing and Urban Development, Architect. Ahmed Musa Dangiwa, made the presentation at the 6th National Council on Skills in Abuja.
He said the Programme is a flagship intervention under the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, designed to deliver practical, market-ready skills to Nigerian youths and raise the standard of housing delivery across the country.
Dangiwa who revealed that the key feature of the Programme is Craft-Hub, also said its goal is to train and certify ten thousand artisans annually, creating a steady pipeline of skilled professionals to meet the demands of Nigeria’s growing housing sector.
