FG's Initiative to Empower 5 Million Nigerians by 2026
The Federal Government, represented by Dr. Abiola Arogundade, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Technical, Vocational and Entrepreneurship Education (TVEE), has launched an empowerment programme aimed at eradicating poverty among Nigerians. The initiative, which began in the Federal Capital Territory, is set to reach 5 million people over the next four years.
In Oyo State, 200 individuals are currently being trained, with 500 devices provided, impacting a total of 700 people. The training lasts for 10 days, from September 28 to October 9, 2026.
Arogundade emphasized that the programme not only focuses on training but also connects beneficiaries to job opportunities. She encouraged participants to share their knowledge within their communities to create a multiplier effect.
Additionally, the programme includes training in artificial intelligence, with Mrs. Oluronke Shonubi highlighting the importance of AI skills in the global economy and commending the government's investment in upskilling Nigerian youth.
