JMG, an integrated electro-mechanical solutions company, has called for stronger collaboration between government, industries, and educational institutions to equip young Nigerians with future-ready skills that will drive innovation, enhance employability, and accelerate sustainable economic growth.
The call comes in commemoration of World Youth Skills Day 2026, celebrated annually, which highlights the importance of equipping young people with the technical, digital, artificial intelligence, green and human skills needed to thrive in an increasingly dynamic job market.
Speaking on the significance of the day, the Chief Human Resources Officer, Gloria Ibeziako, said preparing young people for the future requires deliberate investment in skills development and stronger partnerships between education and industry.
“The future of every economy depends on the quality of its people. As technology continues to reshape industries, we must ensure that young people are equipped not only with technical knowledge but also with the digital, problem-solving and collaborative skills that will enable them to compete and succeed anywhere in the world,” Ibeziako stated.
