Cross-section of applicants taking the aptitude test organised by the Edo State Traffic Management Agency (EDSTMA) for the 250 job openings in the traffic agency, on Saturday, August 18, 2018, at the Imaguero Hall, in Benin City. The applicants were polled from the EdoJobs portal.
The programme is designed as an earn-as-you-learn package which will see trainees placed on regular stipends as they learn new craft.

Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Jobs Creation and Skills Development, Mrs. Ukinebo Dare, said that the state government is committed to grooming youths on vocations and technical education so that they can meaningfully contribute to the state’s economy.

According to her, “We have entered into a partnership that will see the participants of the training placed on an earn-as-you-learn package for a period ranging from one to two years. This will guarantee that they are comfortable and are able to remain.

According to her, “EdoJobs is partnering with Doma Furniture, NAT Limited and Macprices Limited to train a total of 70 Edo youths on wood works and furniture making. Some of them will learn to work as machinists. Doma Funiture will train 30 beneficiaries for two years while NAT Limited and Macprices Limited will respectively train 20 beneficiaries for one year.”

She assured that the process for selecting participants in the training will be transparent as everyone will be given a fair opportunity to participate, noting, “At Edojobs, we ensure that all qualified persons get an opportunity to partake in our training and this will be no different.”

The new prostitute protection law in Germany was meant to identify victims of human trafficking – most of them migrant women. More than 18 months after the law came into effect, thousands continue to be targeted for exploitation, and the risk for Nigerian women seems to be increasing. There are campervans parked by the roadside. Some have hearts painted on them, one says “girls, girls” in red letters. It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate. Prostitution is mainly legal in Germany, as are these mobile brothels. But many of the women in the business – including those working from the Love-Mobiles – are victims of illegal human trafficking. Most of the women are from Eastern Europe or Nige

“When the ACPN leadership approached me in a series of visits to appeal that I run for office on their platform, the party appeared to be a good fit. It was founded by some disgruntled PDP members some years ago, but when its prime founder decided to return to the PDP, a core of its membership refused to move back with him. I was told that they stayed back because of their opposition to the ways of the PDP.
