The NCC CEO particularly enjoined the youths who have had the privilege of participating in the training to apply the skills acquired in gainful activities in order for them to be self-employed.
According to him, the implementation of the recommendations of the committee of experts, as approved by the government, gave rise to the training, which targets 1,000 Nigerian youths to be digitally trained for self-employment.
President of DBI, Prof Muhammad Ajiya, said the various modules of the digital, moral and leadership skills given to the youths during the course of the training would go a long way in making the beneficiaries earn a living and be self-reliant.
