Tackling Poverty, Unemployment the ITF Way

The Industrial Training Fund has taken it upon itself to de-escalate the surging poverty and unemployment rate in the country by consistently providing skills acquisition to equip the teeming unemployed Nigerians to stand on their feet. Seriki Adinoyi writes The World Bank recently gave Nigeria a worrisome rating on poverty index, disclosing that in the year 2020 alone, seven million Nigerians were pushed below the poverty line. Expectedly, this has generated reactions from many quarters, most of which were devoted to blaming the government as the cause of the current surging inflation and general hardship in the country. But as usual, not so many proffered any solution to the damning report.

Barbadians urged to be prepared - Barbados Today

Barbadians urged to be prepared Article by July 1, 2021 As the island prepares for the passage of Tropical Storm Elsa, Barbadians are being urged to be prepared. Minister of Home Affairs, Information and Public Affairs, Wilfred Abrahams, made the plea, during a press conference and update on Tropical Storm Elsa at the Lloyd Erskine Sandiford Centre earlier this afternoon. In light of the recent “freak storm”, Minister Abrahams noted the “fragility” of properties on the island.  “We are expecting sustained storm force winds, sustained winds in excess of the winds that we would have had a week and a half ago, so people need to look around their houses; make themselves as prepared as they can be; pick up all the loose objects that can become missiles; clear the drains.  If you have a well on your property clear the waterways, and just make yourself as prepared as you can be,” he pleaded.
