President Tinubu affirms that within the nation's youths lies the excellent spirit and pearl of transformation to digitally innovate Nigeria to prosperity and global acclaim.

The facility is a N110 billion fund dedicated to empowering the youth in priority sectors to drive sustainable economic growth and development. 


The Digital and Creative Enterprises (IDiCE) programme, the 3Million Technical Talents Scheme, the Skill-Up Artisans Programme (SUPA), and the National Youth Talent Export Programme (NATEP) are also some of the programmes to empower the nation's young people, and create millions of IT and technical jobs that will make them globally competitive.
