This was the thoughts of experts at the public exhibition of furniture and real estate accessories, organised by IO Furniture to mark the May Day in Lagos. At the event attended by government agencies , real estate developers and allied professionals, experts lamented the absence of skill labour in the real estate sector and called for a conceited effort to be spearheaded by government to change the narratives. The founder and managing director of IO Furniture Limited, Mrs. Muni Shonibare said the policy of local content promotion cannot work without the traning of workers . She stressed that there are a lot of works in the building sector , which cannot be done by local artisans thereby forcing manufacturers to look else. According to her, the artisans need to work side by side with the engineers, architects, surveyors and builders.
