He added that 21st-century digital skills can address issues of irregular migration.
“Be rest assured that we are poised to take opportunities in the digital space to engage our youth, and most importantly to empower our women because they are the backbone of our society,” he said, adding that inclusivity, which is very crucial, is one of the backbones of the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration, exemplified by young people occupying positions in Nigeria’s government.
