About
The Industrial Training Fund (ITF) is a Nigerian government agency whose primary mission is to provide skills acquisition and industrial training programmes across Nigeria. It aims to develop the nation's human resources to support industrial growth and economic diversification.
History
The ITF was established on 8 October 1971 by the Federal Government of Nigeria through the enactment of Decree No. 47 of 1971, in response to a severe shortage of skilled labour that was hindering industrial and commercial development. The enabling legislation, the Industrial Training Fund Act, set out the Fund's objectives, governance structure and operational guidelines.
