He described NiYA as a digital marketplace connecting Nigerian youth, both domestically and in the diaspora, to showcase their creativity, acquire relevant skills, and secure employment opportunities aligned with their life ambitions. With the slogan ‘one youth, two skills, one local government, one product,’ the initiative aims to empower seven million youths with transformative skills.
