Telecommunications infrastructure company IHS Nigeria has trained and empowered 100 youths in Cross River State with vocational and entrepreneurial skills to promote self-employment and economic growth.
The beneficiaries, who graduated under the company’s Project Empower 2026, received training in solar installation, electrical installation, makeup and beauty, as well as toiletries and soap production.
The three-week programme was implemented in partnership with Field of Skills and Dreams Vocational, Technical and Entrepreneurship Academy and the Cross River State Microfinance and Enterprise Development Agency.
Speaking at the graduation ceremony in Calabar on Monday, Associate Director, Government Relations and External Affairs, IHS Nigeria, Gbolahan Thomas, said the initiative reflected the company’s commitment to sustainable development through investments in people and communities.
He said the programme was designed to equip participants with practical and marketable skills that would enable them to establish businesses, earn sustainable livelihoods and contribute to the development of their communities.
