Investing in climate smart agriculture and clean energy efficient technologies, and encouraging apprenticeships, entrepreneurship and self-employment in green jobs, through local, state, and federal employment policies and programmes can address youth unemployment, which SDGs particularly targets.

Building towards a climate resilient circular economy based on regeneration where little is wasted, and new and innovative career opportunities for young people are created”.

“I am a firm believer that knowledge is crucial in solving any problem.

The Sustainability Table Discourse Series has in the past five years, worked tirelessly and impressively at bridging the knowledge gap about the achievement of several Sustainable Development Goals Nigeria is lagging in.

In the spirit of nation-building, the Discourse has focused quite remarkably on the most pressing issues in Nigeria. Last year, at a time when it was more crucial than ever, the focus was on bridging the technology gap”.
