He praised the college’s preparedness for future transitions and called on alumni and stakeholders to support YABATECH’s ongoing endowment drive aimed at strengthening infrastructure and academic excellence.

The representative of UNICEF and manager, Social Policy, Mr Muhammed Okorie lauded the initiative and its relevance in the development of the Nigerian girl-child.

“With Nigeria’s youth population projected to reach 190 million by 2030, there is an urgent need to expand skill-based programs that prepare girls for the modern workforce, more so, as nearly 74 per cent of Nigerian young adults currently lack the skills necessary for gainful employment,” he said.
