The federal government has launched the “Renewed Hope Employment Initiative” in Oyo State, a joint project between the National Directorate of Employment (NDE) and the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation.
The initiative, introduced in Ibadan, aims to address youth unemployment by offering vocational, agricultural, and entrepreneurial skills training to thousands of unskilled youth.
Dr. Silas Agara, represented by Oyo State NDE coordinator Steve-Ogundipe Olayinka, highlighted that the program supports President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, with a target of reaching 93,731 individuals nationwide.
The initiative also includes job opportunities in public works, start-up capital, and links to loan institutions. The goal is to empower youths to become self-reliant, contribute to economic development, and enhance Nigeria’s GDP.
