The Federal Government has said its economic reforms and development programmes are being shaped to give young Nigerians stronger opportunities at home. Vice President Kashim Shettima made the point during an official audience at the Presidential Villa, saying President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration sees human capital development as central to national renewal and long-term economic growth. The message positioned youth empowerment as an economic strategy, not a side policy.
Shettima said the administration wants young people to innovate, code, build businesses, and trade from within Nigeria rather than seeing relocation as the only route to success. He cited programmes such as the Investment in Digital and Creative Enterprises initiative and new subnational tech zones as platforms for funding, infrastructure, skills, and access to wider markets. The emphasis was on creating conditions that can retain talent and attract serious enterprise.
The Vice President argued that Nigeria cannot build a competitive modern economy if its most capable young technical minds are forced to take their talents elsewhere. He said the Federal Government will keep investing in skills training, credit access, and digital literacy so that Nigerian youth can solve local problems, create jobs, and participate strongly in the global digital economy. The brief presented technology policy as a route to productivity and inclusion.
