FG, Konga Signs MOU to Boost Youth Empowerment

In its avowed determination to continue to harness youth potentials for improved socio-economic growth and development in the country, the Federal Government today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with KONGA to empower the Nigerian youth through the exploration of Information Communication Technology (ICT) with a view to building their capacity towards self-reliance and employability.

The Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Mr. Sunday Dare at the signing ceremony in his office at the Moshood Abiola Stadium, Abuja, reiterated that the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Administration is fully determined to lifting the lives of teeming Nigerian youth through various initiatives such as e-commerce as well as small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SMEs).

He noted that the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economies of States, is expected to provoke the thinking of various governments towards harnessing youth potentials to checkmate unemployment, youth restiveness and other social vices, adding that it is further in line with this, that his Ministry entered into partnership with KONGA, a leading world e-commerce industry, not only in Nigeria but the continent of Africa, to ensure the upliftment of the lives of its youth.
