We want to engage the private sector employer in the country toward improving conditions of work and availability of employment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo ensure employability, skills acquisition, and vocational training through private sector engagement like Cisco, so we can do it wherever people are.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are focused on Borno for the time being, on people who have been displaced, we can increase their capacity to value and make them reintegrate into the society in Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is another priority that will remain and my departure as head of mission is just on an individual basis,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About Nigeria Follow Africa-Press<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
