Nigeria’s Minister for Youth Development, Ayodele Olawande, says the Tinubu administration remains committed to its vision of promoting sustainable youth development through capacity building, innovation, and access to opportunities.
The minister said this during the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding for the training of young people in Foreign Exchange which he described as giving the Youth the support they need to participate actively in the global digital economy.
Olawande pointed to the rising youth unemployment and economic uncertainty as reasons to make such initiatives a pathway to financial independence, digital literacy, and entrepreneurial development.
