The Commissioner for Information, Okey Kanu, announced this on Monday while briefing journalists on the outcome of this week’s State Executive Council meeting presided over by Governor Alex Otti.
He said the facility is equipped for concrete, soil, aggregate, asphalt, and steel reinforcement testing, as well as non-destructive and field testing.
“The installation of this lab will ensure very high quality of engineering and building projects in the state. That is the very essence of its establishment,” Kanu said.
He added that the project, first announced earlier this year, is now fully installed and operational.
The commissioner also disclosed that preparations for the second cohort of the state’s Information Communication Technology programme were almost complete.
Out of 850 applicants, verification has been concluded across local government areas, and training will begin on September 25.
“This programme will increase the state’s digital workforce, empower youths, and generally enhance job creation,” he said.
He noted that 19 participants from the first cohort were given automatic employment, adding that successful trainees in this round are encouraged to share their knowledge with others.
