The lecture of the launching with the topic "Human Capital Development in Distress Economy: The Role of Entrepreneur" was delivered by Dr Nureni Lawal, which he really did justice to. He emphasized the importance of human resources in an organisation and the economy at large. He stated that the success of any entrepreneur is dependent on the capability of its human resources because entrepreneurship cannot take place in a vacuum, it requires the capabilities and skills of men to be productive and serve its overall goals.
The book was reviewed by Alagba, Alhaji Taofik Kola Alimi, who in his words has attended several interviews and his job today involves recruiting for different organisations. He stated that the book is a must to have for every job seeker intended to land his or her dream job in no distant time because it contains likely questions and answers of nowadays. He added that apart from knowing what to say in an interview, there are some skills expected of a job seeker to have. The top on the list is IT skills. He said any applicant without IT skills is not looking for a job because anybody with no IT skill is not relevant in most organisations of today. You must know how to use email, Whatsapp, Microsoft Office Suite and some other applications. An analytical skill that also incorporates IT, communication skills and the likes. He spoke about online platforms where people can actually get jobs like LinkedIn, Jobber, and so on. He then advised most of Ede indigenes who are looking for jobs to join those platforms in order to land their dream jobs.
