Nigeria's government has launched an empowerment campaign to provide technical and vocational Education for fifteen thousand youths across the country.

The project dubbed T-MAX is aimed at closing the unemployment gap and lifting 100 million Nigerians out of poverty by 2030.

The selected persons will be trained across seven states including the southwestern states of Lagos and Ogun and Edo and Enugu in the south.

WADR'S Fatimah Ibrahim in Abuja reports that the northern states of Kaduna, Nasarawa and Gombe have equally been selected for the exercise.
