Empowering Nigerian Youths: NYESAF Launches Game-Changing Training
In a heartfelt move, the Nigeria Youth Employment through Skills Acquisition Fund (NYESAF) has rolled out a transformative baking and confectionery training program tailored for the youth. Held at the esteemed Masterminds Catering and Culinary Institute, this initiative promises to open new doors of opportunities for individuals with disabilities and youths from low-income backgrounds.
A New Dawn for the Youth
Adorned with the presence of both public and private sector dignitaries, the program’s inauguration was more than just ceremonial. Madam Blessing Ogwu, the national project coordinator under the Federal Ministry of Education, was among those who graced the event, infusing the gathering with a sense of national progress and hope.
Bridging Gaps and Building Futures
“This is more than just training,” emphasized Mrs. Charlene Ogojafor during her passionate speech. As the managing partner of SoftPal Communication and Support Services Limited, she underscored the initiative’s impact on restoring dignity and creating tangible economic pathways for the marginalized. It’s a heartfelt mission to create a cycle of empowerment and self-reliance.
Skills for Success
Dame Blessing Osemwota brought attention to the IDEAS Project’s harmony with national unemployment reduction efforts. By equipping the youth with the right skills, the program aims to enrich them, irrespective of their background, allowing them to contribute meaningfully to the economy.
Stories of Impact
The event was punctuated by stories of promise and gratitude. David Balogun, a visually impaired beneficiary, touched hearts with his heartfelt appreciation. “This means the world to us,” he shared, reflecting a genuine testament to the program’s life-changing potential.
Going Beyond the Curriculum
Mrs. Khadija Abiose-Fashina, Rector and CEO of Mastermind Institute, articulated the training’s dual goals: developing technical baking skills while fostering personal growth and entrepreneurial spirit. “A degree alongside a skill set sets you up for greatness,” she remarked, envisioning futures of not just employment, but excellence.
A Call to Action
As this beneficial program unfolds, the organisers urged participants to harness this golden opportunity, reiterating appreciation to NYESAF, SoftPal CSSL, World Bank, Mastermind Institute, and all contributing partners. In concluding the event, the essence of self-improvement and society-wide progress was radiated.
