The Chief of Staff to the Minister for Youth Development, Mohammed Funsho Abdullahi has facilitated job placements for 15 youths from Kwara State in key national agencies, in what observers described as a move aimed at promoting youth empowerment and economic inclusion.
The beneficiaries were deployed to the National Youth Service Corps, the Citizenship and Leadership Training Centre, and the Environmental Health Council of Nigeria.
Those placed with the NYSC include Olohuntoyin Mubarak, Shehu Tijani, Abdulhamid Abubakar Olowo, Suleiman Daud, Moses Kayode, Jimoh Abdulafeez, and Olushola Hammeed. Isiaq Mohammed, Adam Mohammed, Abdulhameed Murtala Muhammed, and Tijani Wakila secured placements with the CLTC, while Umaru Wahab, Mariam Abdullateef, Abdulqadir Salaudeen, and Muideen Nasir Olumide were posted to EHCON.
The development is said to be part of Abdullahi’s ongoing efforts to connect qualified youths with employment opportunities and enhance their participation in national development.
Stakeholders and beneficiaries commended the initiative, noting that such interventions could help ease unemployment and create pathways for professional growth. They added that sustained efforts in this direction would further strengthen confidence in leadership focused on delivering tangible outcomes for young people.
