The Ministry of Youth and Sports Development has advised youths to tap into the opportunities created by the ministry for self- improvement and to earn a living.
The Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Mr. Sunday Dare, who is a strong believer that the youth must move with the world which is moving into knowledge-based spaces, harnessing new areas of communication and diverse opportunities, believes the ministry’s partnership with IBM Digital-Nation Africa to provide digital skill training for the youth, will enhance their skills and create opportunities.
The partnership will equip young people with the knowledge and tools to design and develop digital solutions, while remaining abreast of the dynamic changes in the new technology driven economy.

The ministry last September conceived the Digital Youth Nigeria (Dy.ng) programme, which is a component of the DEEL initiative. The goals of DY.ng include equipping youths with basic and advanced technological development skills in the digital world to be deployed across sectors.
Digital Youth Nigeria is aimed at equipping 500,000 young people with digital skills through available youth development centres and specialised enterprise centres in the six geo-political zones.
