Millennium Fellowship Project: Skill-Up Initiative
Skill Up Initiative The name of the Initiative is Skill Up Initiative which runs a project that is dedicated to equip Teenagers and Youths in low income communities in Nigeria with Digital Skills to transform their financial status. Objective: To ensure that Teenagers and Youth from low income Communities are provided with the necessary digital knowledge. Target Audience: Our target audience are 13 - 35 years old. Our focus is to equip one thousand (1000) Africans with the necessary digital skills that would make them a perfect for their pairs in the first world. This vision was birthed through my quest to pay back to the community that raised me, so the focus of the initiative is to see that the first project is been carried out in my own community, Akesan. This is a mission that I believe is possible and can be achieved through resilience, focus, thriving and winning spirit. Skill Up Initiative is in the process to liberate lives, and we are ready to the take off the tasks, challenges and whatever comes with it. We believe strongly what Tunde Onakoya a Nigerian Chess Master says, "it is possible to do great things from a small place."
