FG Partners Polaris Capital to Train 100,000 Construction Artisans Nationwide

Date:

The Federal Government has entered into a strategic partnership with Polaris Capital to train no fewer than 100,000 construction artisans across the country. The initiative is designed to address the shortage of skilled workers in the building and construction sector while creating sustainable job opportunities for Nigerian youths.

According to a statement released on Tuesday, the programme will provide comprehensive training in critical trades such as masonry, carpentry, plumbing, electrical installation, and tiling. Participants will be equipped with both theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience to meet industry standards and contribute meaningfully to ongoing infrastructure projects nationwide.

Government officials explained that the partnership with Polaris Capital is part of a broader plan to bridge Nigeria’s technical skills gap. By enhancing the competence of artisans, the programme is expected to raise the quality of construction output, reduce reliance on foreign labour, and empower local workers with certifications that improve employability.

The training scheme will also incorporate entrepreneurship modules, enabling artisans not only to secure jobs but also to establish and manage their own businesses within the construction ecosystem.

The Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment emphasized that this collaboration underscores the government’s commitment to youth empowerment and human capital development, which remain central to Nigeria’s economic growth agenda.

Registration for the programme is expected to commence in the coming weeks, with training centres to be set up across all six geopolitical zones to ensure inclusivity and accessibility.
