YouthDesk.ai Launches AI Platform for Nigerian Youth
YouthDesk.ai is a new artificial intelligence-powered platform founded by Alabi Opeyemi, who serves as the Senior Special Assistant on Youth Mobilisation to Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu. The platform aims to address fragmented access to jobs, scholarships, grants, internships, and skills-development programmes among Nigerian youths.
A key feature is AI Padi, an AI-powered assistant that provides personalized guidance to users. The Opportunity Hub within YouthDesk.ai aggregates various opportunities, including jobs and training programmes.
The initiative responds to challenges faced by young people in accessing reliable information, especially those with limited networks. Opeyemi stated that the platform reflects Sanwo-Olu’s commitment to youth development and empowerment.
Partnerships with businesses and government agencies will create pathways for employment and mentorship. The platform will be demonstrated at its unveiling on September 3, where stakeholders can explore potential collaborations.
