FIC Report (Kwara State) – The State Coordinator, National Directorate of Employment (NDE) Kwara state, Mr Kudabo Gabriel Olufemi, has sought for strong synergy between his agency and the Federal Information Centre Ilorin in the area of reportage of his agency activities in the state.

He stressed the need for the Centre to bring to the public, the activities of the Directorate in the state through publicity and coverage of its programmes.
Mr Kudabo highlighted some of the agency’s programmes such as Graduate Attachment Program (GAP), Rural Empowerment Program (REP) and Small Scale Enterprise.
