Driving Youth Employment Through Collaboration! 🇳🇬🌍
Today, NECA proudly hosted the Youth Employment and Skilling Initiatives in Nigeria and Beyond workshop in Lagos, bringing together key stakeholders from across Africa to exchange ideas, strengthen partnerships, and develop practical action plans for improving youth employment outcomes.
The impactful engagement featured insightful presentations, collaborative SWOT analyses, cross-country learning, and the development of National Action Plans aimed at advancing sustainable employment and skills development across participating countries.
We sincerely appreciate the International Organisation of Employers (IOE) for bringing this important initiative to Nigeria and for partnering with NECA to foster meaningful dialogue and regional collaboration on youth employment.
Special recognition goes to the Director-General of NECA, Mr. Adewale-Smatt Oyerinde, whose leadership, vision, and unwavering commitment were instrumental in ensuring the successful hosting of this landmark event. His dedication continues to position NECA as a leading voice in advancing employment, enterprise development, and skills for the future of work.
Together, we are building stronger partnerships, empowering young people, and creating pathways to decent work across Africa.
