The Office of the Special Assistant to the President on Capacity Development has partnered with Stability and Sustenance, a capacity-building organisation, towards empowering one million young Nigerians with tools and knowledge to transform their talents and skills into sustainable, income-generating ventures.
The Special Assistant to the President on Capacity Development, Mr Sadiq Rabiu, made the disclosure ON Monday, 21 April, 2025 during a news briefing in Abuja.
He said the National Capacity Development Training Initiative is a flagship programme of this administration aimed at empowering one million Nigerians across all six geopolitical zones in the year.
According to Rabiu, it was launched under the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as part of the Renewed Hope Agenda, adding that it is a bold commitment to building economic self-reliance, creating jobs, and unleashing the full potential of our citizens.
He said the partnership with Stability and Sustenance marks a significant milestone in the mission.
He said, “With their innovation-driven approach, deep community reach, and commitment to grassroots transformation, they are now part of the broader engine driving this initiative forward.
“Our collective goal remains clear: to equip Nigerians with practical, scalable, and future-ready skills that can convert raw talent into thriving businesses and sustainable livelihoods.”
Founder of Stability and Sustenance, Melody, said the organisation is an EdTech platform geared towards mentorship and development.
“We are here to bridge the unemployment gap in the economy and also provide support through following up with skilled and talented young Nigerians in the country.” Okwuazu said adding that the organisation already has a database of over 400,000 SMEs across various sectors.
“The challenge is not the numbers, but identifying and reaching those who will truly benefit from this initiative. Our role is to ensure that the project reaches its intended audience, as directed by the federal government, and that the initiative continues into the future,” he said.
