It said the association has over the years took upon itself to raise professionals in the field of engineering, hair dressing, fashion designers, electricians among others and yet the government has sidelined them and always employed the services of foreigners.

It added: it has trained over 45,000 artisans such as engineers, electricians, contractors, masons, carpenters, steel benders, tillers, hair dressers, fashion designers, decorators and other categories across the country.

The AAG has further urged government to employ their services in building all the 216 factories under the one district one factory policy since the nation has competent manpower for the task.
