OneBarrow Unveils Initiative Skills, Equips Graduates

In efforts to reduce the unemployment rate in Nigeria, the non-governmental organisation OneBarrow International Limited has unveiled its Community Capability Initiative (CCI) to empower new graduates entering the corporate world.

Speaking at the unveiling in Abuja yesterday, the chief executive officer of the organisation, Yemi Ajao, said OneBarrow’s CCI aims to equip young individuals with the skills, mindset, and confidence necessary to thrive in today’s dynamic business landscape.

Ajao, in a statement signed by the organisation’s public relations analyst, Maryam Aminu, said, “Through meticulously crafted training modules, the program seeks to prepare youths for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in the corporate sector.”

Reflecting on this year’s theme, “Youth Skills for Peace and Development,” Ajao stressed the vital role young people play in peacebuilding and conflict resolution efforts.

“CCI serves as a pipeline to companies looking to hire youths who are prepared to hit the ground running. The impact of the OneBarrow CCI training will resonate throughout the year. The skills acquired, networks formed, and knowledge gained through this program will serve as invaluable tools for the youth, enabling them to contribute to a sustainable, inclusive, and prosperous future,” he added.
