The African Workforce Summit (AWS), the continent’s premier platform for professional development, has made plans to convene in Lagos in a key move to tackle Nigeria’s mounting skill gaps and rising unemployment.
With youth unemployment in Nigeria hitting a staggering 53 percent, Lagos is preparing to host a major intervention aimed at closing the gap between education and employment.
According to the organisers, AWS will convene over 2,300 delegates on June 27-28 at the Sheba Event Centre, Ikeja, in a bid to align talent with opportunity in an economy undergoing rapid digital transformation.
