The Federal Government of Nigeria aims to create one million jobs to combat youth unemployment in all 774 local government areas. Minister of State for Youth Development Ayodele Olawande announced this commitment on Friday in Abuja.

Olawande highlighted the government’s determination to educate, inspire, and connect Nigerian youths with careers and opportunities in the insurance sector through digital technology.
