We are thrilled to announce that Envision Consultancy Services has been formally awarded a strategic partnership by the Directorate of Skills Acquisition and Linkages at the Federal University of Education, Zaria. This landmark collaboration recognizes Envision’s unwavering commitment to youth empowerment, enterprise development, and the transformation of vocational skills training across Nigeria.
In an official acceptance letter signed by Dr. Amina Sani, Director of the Directorate, the University commended Envision’s dedication and proven track record particularly its impactful work with the National Board for Technology Incubation (NBTI) as a testament to its capacity to deliver transformative programs that equip Nigerian youth and local communities with practical, income-generating skills.
A Milestone for Youth Empowerment and Economic Transformation
This partnership comes at a critical time when Nigeria’s youth unemployment and underemployment rates hover above 50% according to the National Bureau of Statistics. The World Bank emphasizes that skills-based education and entrepreneurship training are essential for creating sustainable economic opportunities and reducing poverty. By equipping young Nigerians with market-relevant skills, we lay the foundation for a more inclusive and prosperous future.

Building on a Legacy of Success
This new partnership strengthens Envision Consultancy Services’ leadership role in Nigeria’s skills development ecosystem. Our ongoing work with the National Board for Technology Incubation (NBTI) and other institutions has empowered hundreds of young Nigerians, enabling them to launch successful businesses, secure employment, and contribute meaningfully to their communities.
Why Skills-Based Education is Nigeria’s Game Changer
- A 2022 UNICEF report highlights that over 13 million Nigerian children and youth are out of school, with many lacking access to vocational education that could lift them out of poverty.
- According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), vocational skills development can reduce youth unemployment by up to 40% when aligned with market needs.
- Skills-based learning promotes self-reliance, reduces dependency, and fosters innovation driving both personal success and national economic growth.
