Okonkwo to Tinubu: Tackle unemployment with apprenticeship

Chairman of United Nigeria Airlines Limited, Prof. Obiora Okonkwo, who made the call at the sidelines of a public book presentation by The Sun in Abuja, Thursday, said the apprenticeship scheme has the potential to positively engage many youths and make them self-reliant within the lifetime of the Tinubu administration.

Okonkwo, who had sponsored a study at the Nnamdi Azikiwe University Business School on reinvigorating the Igbo apprenticeship scheme as a tool for mass employment, said outcome of the study indicated that the sustem is still a viable option to addressing unemployment.
