So we have a summit where everybody will discuss and then brig about an interjection between what is happening in the education and business sectors as well as what the government is doing about the unemployment situation in Nigeria and that is why we have tagged, “Preparing for Future Work”. We also know that a lot of our present and past jobs have been replaced by machines. So we also want to talk about what the future is for our youths. Are we preparing them for the future? What is the future for semi-skilled people? And what particular skills do people who are educated need for the future? What are the things that people in the job market need to think about and how can they prepare themselves better for the future That is the discourse of the summit that would hold for about 3 hours after which there would be a job fair where we are going to showcase some of the brightest students in the country”, he noted.
