The Federal Government has strengthened its youth empowerment initiatives through a strategic partnership between the Ministry of Youth Development and Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing (IVM).
The collaboration aims to expand training, apprenticeship, and enterprise development programmes across the country, particularly within the automotive value chain and related sectors.
During a working visit to the Innoson manufacturing plant in Nnewi, Anambra State, the Minister of Youth Development, Comrade Ayodele Olawande, commended Innoson's Chairman, Chief Innocent Chukwuma, for his commitment to indigenous innovation, industrial growth, and job creation.

Olawande highlighted the company's technical training and apprenticeship initiatives, which have provided opportunities for hundreds of young Nigerians, including women excelling as auto technicians.
He also met with the Anambra State Commissioner for Youth Development, Patrick Agha Mba, to reaffirm their joint commitment to advancing the "1 Youth, 2 Skills" campaign — a national initiative focused on equipping young Nigerians with practical, income-generating skills to drive innovation, productivity, and self-reliance.
The Ministry stated that the partnership will further promote youth inclusion in the nation's industrial and economic development efforts, while strengthening local manufacturing capacity and sustainable employment creation.
