The Federal Government has announced an ambitious plan to empower seven million young Nigerians with dual vocational training and digital skills development programs. Minister of Youth Development, Ayodele Olawande, revealed this initiative during a meeting with German business delegates in Abuja.
The program, part of President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, aims to transform youth from job seekers into innovators and entrepreneurs. The government will launch a digital learning platform through the Nigerian Youth Academy (NIYA), modeled after global platforms like Coursera, to make skills training accessible nationwide.
The announcement comes alongside news that 300 Nigerian youths have completed German language training and will participate in a legal labor migration program, highlighting growing international partnerships in vocational education.
