In its drive to reduce unemployment in the Niger Delta region and Nigeria entirely, the Niger Delta Youth Employment Pathways (NDYEP) has trained well over 4800 youths in various competency-based skills. The youths were trained in skills in priority sectors of agriculture, construction, information and communications technology (ICT) and renewable energy and finished leather. This informed PIND’s decision to design the programme to address the menace in a very practical way by equipping the youths with market-relevant skills. The NDYEP project advisory board was recognised for their hard work and commitment to the project during the workshop.
