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 Okwuazu, said the organisation is an EdTech platform geared towards mentorship and development.
He said, "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."
He said the organisation already has a database of over 400,000 SMEs across various sectors.
He said, "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."
