He added that helping the youth to realize their full potential by gaining access to employment is no doubt a prerequisite to poverty and the sustainable development of Nigeria.
Mr Dare stated further that, rather than seeing youth as a burden to society, the creation of a youth template offers the government a distinctive opportunity to focus on employment and job creation for young persons in the country.
According to him, the Ministry has in the last few years, conducted different skills acquisition and empowerment programmes as a result of the need to lift a huge number of youth out of poverty to ensure their productive and viable occupational engagement.
HM Sunday Dare explained that “it is on this note that the Ministry is creating awareness and innovative opportunities for Nigerian youth by advancing nimble values and principles, creating a safe space for networking, developing new skills, sharing ideas and flourishing together through leveraging on NOYA to crowdsource youth employment in Nigeria’
