Pantami Harps on Digital Innovation, Entrepreneurship as Panacea to Youth Unemployment

Pantami, while delivering a paper titled, “Digital Economy, Digital Youth and the Imperatives of Sustainable Development for the 21st Century” at Fountain University’s 2022 Annual Distinguished Guest Lecture series, in Osogbo, Osun state capital, said Nigerian youths must acquire digital skills to break the yoke of unemployment.

“It is rather disturbing to note that a great number of this percentage are graduates from Nigerian universities, colleges of education, and polytechnics who are in the job markets in search of non-existing jobs. It is worth noting that any society that lacks innovation and entrepreneurial skills will have to contend with the challenge of unemployment.
