. IGBODO YOUTH DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM 2019

Our goal was to enlighten, equip and groom young people from Igbodo community with relevant skills ranging from digital, technological and creative recycling skills, to discourage the appeal of illegal migration and channel focus towards self-development and problem solving; thereby preparing them for leadership and engagement in strategic development within the community and Nigeria at large to drive economic empowerment and activity from within the community. ..
