President Edgar Lungu says there is need to provide training institutes across the country that will help develop human capital.

President Lungu said this when he officially commissioned the K25million Isoka Trades training institute in Muchinga Province.

He said Government will continue to construct trades training institutes to enable more youths access quality education.

The Head of State said this will enable the country to bridge the gap in the labour market and help youths to create self-employment.

And Higher education Minister Brian Mushimba said the commissioning of the multimillion-kwacha institute will be written in the country’s history as it will improve skills training among the young people.

Muchinga Province Minister Malozo Sichone thanked President Lungu for constructing and commissioning the Isoka trades training institute.
