The two international partners are in Nigeria on partnership for the creation of decent jobs and entrepreneurship through the global framework for digital skills facilitation for youths in Africa.

Ngige said the inter-ministerial and agency synergy had become imperative in line with recommendations of the National Economic Advisory Council to the President, adding that time was gone when ministries and even parastatals within ministries work in silos, and leave a huge gap in achieving set goals in youth employment.
