programme, Mr Dare urged them to realize the importance of digital technology in their quest for jobs and self-improvement to become self- reliant, stressing that, ”2020-2030 is also the Decade of Youth, Digital Technology, Jobs, Enterprise and Intergenerational Leadership.

He explained that, “these are the core components of the new DEEL”, we have put together for the Nigerian Youth and I am here today to invite you to take the DEEL and become the beneficiaries and Ambassadors of the amazing opportunities that ”DEEL” offers to the Nigerian Youth. It is time to mobilize our collective intelligence to achieve our individual aspirations and build the Nigeria of our dreams”.

The Minister stated further that, “the new DEEL has many laudable projects and programmes with different levels of successes and as we pass the TORCH to you as beneficiaries and Ambassadors, I am confident that we will achieve accelerated impact. With her size, structure and spread, NYSC has proven on many occasions, including the massive result achieved with the MDGs that, its the most strategic platform for inclusive and accelerated National Development.”

While emphasizing digitisation as an enabler to employability and building successful businesses and career; Mr Dare opined that ”to create the seriously needed jobs and build successful careers and businesses, every sector of our nation today must incorporate DIGITAL. For this to happen, it has become important, if not compulsory, for every smart Nigerian Youth to build the necessary Digital Skills through hands-on practical methodologies”.

According to him, “What we must do, starting from your orientation camp is to ensure everyone of you acquires an added advantage in a minimum of 10 basic Digital Skills that you can deploy to your places of Primary assignments, Group or Personal CDS and to build your Businesses through DEEL”
