“Mr. President, as you are aware, is passionate about job creation, and there can be no effective and sustainable job creation without appropriate skill acquisition, which is what this workshop is all about, as I explained earlier.
“As a party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) promised to deliver jobs. In order to achieve this, we are studying the National Youth Strategic Plan 2024–2027 presented by the National Youth Leader.
“The Strategic Plan is basically to improve the economic capacity of young Nigerians, especially the Young Progressives, and very soon, this strategic plan will be formally launched by our Party.”
