Mr Ayariga described the courtesy call at the NYA as a productive engagement focused on positioning African youth to compete globally through strategic partnerships and targeted interventions.

According to the NYA CEO, discussions centred on how African countries can leverage skills training initiatives to equip young people with practical and employable competencies.
