The initiative, called ‘Digi Link,’ was held at the University of Benin and organized in partnership with ACIOE Associates and Public Digital, aiming to enhance the state government’s digital capabilities.

During the one-day workshop, the Focal Person of the Edo State Social Investment Programme, Ms Osayueamem Aladeselu, expressed that the program intends to prepare the youth for the future job market by nurturing entrepreneurial skills and instilling enthusiasm about their career paths.
