NMRC Empowers 42 IDPs With Housing Construction Skills

The Nigeria Mortgage Refinance Company (NMRC) has empowered 42 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) with technical skills in different aspects of housing construction, including masonry/tiling, plumbing as well as electrical installations.

The 42 beneficiaries, who currently reside at the IDP Camp in New Kuchingoro, Abuja, Tuesday graduated from a two-month NMRC sponsored vocational training programme which was facilitated by the Industrial Training Fund (ITF).

The training was done using qualified building professionals and experts, even as NMRC also provided the graduates with relevant start-up tool kits in their respective fields of training to enable them to ply their new skills.

The training course commenced November under NMRC’s 2017 Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and was designed to empower lives as well as contribute to efforts to redress the skills gap in the building industry in Nigeria, often cited as one of the key constraints to a robust housing market growth.
