This collaboration aims to leverage technology and innovation to create job opportunities, foster entrepreneurship, and equip Nigerian youths with essential digital skills.

Comprehensive programs will be developed to provide youths with competencies in areas such as coding, digital marketing, and data analysis, aligning with global industry standards.

 Aspiring entrepreneurs will receive mentorship, access to funding opportunities, and business development services to nurture innovative startups.
