ITF Set To Train N’Delta Militants
The Industrial Training Fund (ITF) says it is prepared to create avenue for sustainable training programmes for repentant militants in the Niger Delta.
The Public Relations Officer of the Fund, Felix Oluwarikpo who made this declaration weekend in Port Harcourt explained that the move was part of effort of ITF to incorporate sustainable programmes that would engage the restive youths in useful self-sustaining skills.
He noted that the Fund has the capacity to provide skill acquisition training programmes, but regretted that lack of funds had become a setback in realising its mandate for the meaningful industrial development of the society.
He explained that funds shortage was the main impediment to the ITF in its drive to provide the opportunity to fulfill its mandate, insisting that the state and federal governments should partner with the Fund to achieve its set objectives.
Oluwarikpo reasoned that if states in the Niger Delta region partner with ITF, the unemployed youths would be provided the necessary skills to provide themselves employment.
According to him, ITF would bring in the resources and back-up training to integrate the youths into the society.
He maintained that the Seven-Point Agenda cannot be achieved without the necessary technical vocational training.
To him, the state government should take proactive steps to embrace ITF various proposals to practicalise vocational training for youths in their states.
He said ITF has training centres in Ikeja, Jos, and Kano adding that the Fund has the capacity to train all the repentant militants in the Niger Delta region, if only the states within the region would send them to ITF.
On the educational system, Oluwarikpo observed that Nigeria has for long adopted an educational system that is not peculiar to its environment.
He stressed the need for Nigeria to adopt an indigenous education system for the training of youths.

Rivers Judiciary Denies Issuing Court Order Stopping SOLAD from Swearing in RSCSC Members
The Rivers State Judiciary has denied a media report claiming that Justice Frank Onyiri of the State High Court issued an injunction order restraining the Sole Administrator, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (rtd), from inaugurating the newly appointed members of the Rivers State Civil Service Commission (RSCSC).
In a statement issued by the Deputy Chief Registrar in charge of litigation at the High Court, Menenen Poromon (Esq), the state Judiciary disassociated itself from the report, describing it as malicious and fabricated.
The statement emphasized that the report was a falsehood and a misrepresentation of what transpeared in the court.
Poromon clarified that no such order was issued by Justice Onyiri or any other judge of the High Court of the state and urged the public to disregard the information, as it lacked any iota of truth.
The statement however advised the public to verify any information concerning the state Judiciary directly from the office of the Chief Registrar, High Court of the State, to avoid spreading of misinformation.
