Abuja, Nigeria – The Labour Employment Empowerment Programme (LEEP), a groundbreaking national initiative designed to address unemployment and empower Nigerian citizens, officially launched today in Abuja. This comprehensive program aims to reshape the country’s job market by focusing on skills development and connecting talent with opportunity.
Spearheaded by the Honourable Nkeiruka Onyejeocha, Minister of State for Labour and Employment, LEEP is built upon three core pillars:
- Job Creation: Driving the creation of new employment opportunities across diverse sectors within Nigeria.
- Skills Development: Equipping participants with cutting-edge digital and entrepreneurial skills to thrive in the modern global economy.
- Access to Opportunities: Bridging the gap between job seekers and employers, facilitating connections that lead to meaningful employment.
LEEP represents a significant investment in Nigeria’s human capital, recognizing the critical need to prepare its workforce for the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century. The program’s focus on digital literacy and entrepreneurial training aligns with global trends and aims to position Nigeria as a competitive player in the international market.
“LEEP is more than just a program; it’s a commitment to the future of Nigeria,” stated Hon. Onyejeocha at the launch event. “By investing in our citizens’ skills and connecting them with real opportunities, we are building a stronger, more prosperous nation.”
Citizens across Nigeria are encouraged to learn more and register for the program at leep.gov.ng.
