Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule, has announced his intention to return to his original profession as a certified welder after completing his tenure in office.
Speaking at a roundtable organised by the Rural Electrification Agency (REA) in partnership with the Nasarawa State Government at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel in Abuja, Governor Sule reflected on his technical background.
“One of the things is that I actually started my education as a technician, as a welder, before I became a CNC machinist and the rest of that,” he said. “As you see me, shielded arc metal welding, oxyacetylene welding, once I finish from governor, I’m going into welding.”
The governor emphasised that his administration has invested heavily in technical education to build a skilled workforce for the state. “We built one of the most standard technical institutions according to the NBTE. In fact, most of these big companies that are carrying out their training even here in Abuja, they train them in Nasarawa at that particular institution,” he said.
