“World Youth Skills Day is a powerful reminder that building a sustainable and inclusive future begins with deliberate investment in practical, hands-on skills. For us, that means empowering young people with the tools to thrive in key sectors like power, infrastructure, and industrial development — where their innovation can truly shape the future.”

Over the years, JMG has empowered Nigerians through its structured technical training programmes, equipping them with real-world skills and industry-relevant knowledge. The company remains deeply committed to nurturing local talent, not just to make them job-ready, but to inspire a new generation of innovators and leaders capable of driving meaningful change within their communities and beyond.

On this occasion, JMG calls on the private sector, policymakers, and educational institutions to deepen their investments in youth development and work collaboratively to shape a workforce that will power Nigeria’s future.
