UNIDO, Oyakhilome Bello Foundation Moves To Empower Youths On Skills Acquisition

The Oyakhilome Bello Foundation in conjunction with the United Nation Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO) has mapped out strategies aimed at empowering youths with entrepreneurship and artisan skills across the country. The foundation's National Co-ordinator, Mr Olaniyin Ilori made this known to newsmen on Sunday in Abuja, after a closed-door meeting with UNIDO officials. Olori explained that the proposed training endorsed by UNIFI Directors would be conducted in the six geopolitical zones of the country.  Ilori said the major target of the foundation owned by Oyakhilome Bello, the All Progressives Congress (APC) United States National Youth Leader was the grassroots, especially the hard to reach communities in the country. He said the foundation was seeking to partner UNIDO to achieve its goal of equipping individuals with knowledge, skills and resources needed to realize their potentials to contribute meaningfully to the country's economy growth.


 Ilori explained that the training was for entrepreneurs that were into Nano, Small and Medium Enterprise to improve their skills adding the foundation was deeply committed to the betterment of the society, with specific focus on wealth creation for youths, women and the less privileged in our society. He added that part of the foundation's mission was to focus on providing holistic support and empowerment for youths, women and the less privileged through innovative programmes. "We are here because we know that one of the major aims of UNIDO is to support entrepreneurs, especially Small and Medium Enterprise because they contribute a lot to national economy," Ilori said. "Through entrepreneurship initiatives, vocational training and economic empowerment efforts, we seek to uplift the vulnerable population.


"Our initiative is to promote entrepreneurship among youths and women, including mentorship programmes and support for educational institutions. "The training is also aimed to enhance access to educational information for Nigerians and promote enrichment opportunities. "Through these training, we will empower youths and women to thrive academically and realise their potentials. "This we are sure will help address issues of youth restiveness and involvement in anti-social activities and make our youths better individuals. "Also as an organisation, we are going to work with Small and Medium Enterprise Development Agency of Nigeria (SMEDAN) and the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment on entrepreneurship development training,"Ilori said. Mr Osu Otu who lead the UNIDO team at the meeting, expressed satisfaction at the foundation's training proposal and promised that the organisation would work with it. Other members of the UNIDO team include Mr Reuben Bamidele and Ms Emem Umana. Earlier, Bello, the founder of the foundation said government alone could not meet the needs of the citizens, adding that there was need for public spirited individuals to join efforts with it to ensure a better Nigeria for all.

He was speaking at the ongoing Ministry of Innovation, Science and Technology, Technology and Innovation Expo 2024 with the theme: “STI Solution to National Economic Challenge.”

Bello said the gesture was to provide alternative energy sources to address the current epileptic electricity supply in the country.

“The youths we trained and empowered as an organisation from the country’s six geopolitical zones for six weeks, brought their Biogas and Solar production for Exhibition.

“We want Nigerians and the government to see biogas especially, as an alternative to generate electricity in this country,
our plan is to invest more on Biogas and Solar panel production.

“We are working on a collaboration with the Ministry of Innovation, Science and Technology and also the Energy Commission of Nigeria.
