The Presidential Initiative on Unlocking the Healthcare Value Chain (PVAC) and UNICEF have launched a new initiative to empower Nigerian youth in the manufacturing sector. The program, under the Enabling Local Manufacturing (ELM) initiative, will identify high-demand roles, train 200 young Nigerians with a special focus on women and girls and facilitate their placement in the manufacturing industry.
At a stakeholder dialogue on workforce development in Nigeria’s health and nutrition commodity manufacturing sector in Abuja, the National Coordinator of PVAC, Dr. Abdu Mukhtar, identified six key barriers hindering industrialization - including policy, regulatory and legal frameworks; access to finance; market access; human capital development; research and development; and infrastructure.
Dr. Mukhtar emphasized the need for practical solutions to bridge these gaps and strengthen Nigeria’s local manufacturing capacity. The dialogue, which held as a side event to the Nigeria-EU Health Investment Forum, signals the start of a coordinated process to map job roles, mobilize youth, train, certify, and connect them to industry opportunities.
The event also brought together manufacturers, development partners, and young people to discuss the future skills required to drive Nigeria’s health manufacturing industry.
