Commencing with 25 out of 44 available courses, PHACODA, a non-governmental organisation (NGO) registered in Nigeria disclosed that its empowerment initiative has been developed to accommodate a minimum of 2.5 million participants to engage in strategic training to enable them to achieve their set goals.

Addressing newsmen ahead of the programme launch in Abuja, its director, Mr Chidiomimi Angels disclosed further that they had developed a data system that will serve as an umbrella for all within the age bracket of 15-35years in all 36 states in the country.

Harping on the benefits of the initiative, Angels emphasised that the programme will not only help to restore and preserve the dignity of beneficiaries but will also contribute to alleviate poverty.

Giving a statistical analysis of Nigeria’s youth population, Chidiomimi added that the number of people within the labour force who were unemployed or underemployed increased from 13.6 million and 17.7 million respectively in the second quarter of 2017 to 15.9 million and 18 million respectively in the third quarter of 2017.
