  "summary": "The acting Director of the Centre for Information Communication and Public Relations (CICPR) at Yaba College of Technology (YABATECH), Adekunle Adams, has urged Nigerian youths to acquire relevant digital and technical skills to remain competitive in a rapidly changing economy. Adams emphasized the importance of continuous learning, unlearning, and relearning in the face of technological advancements, AI, automation, and changing workplace demands. He urged young Nigerians to develop an entrepreneurial mindset, focusing on solving problems, creating value, and generating opportunities, rather than solely seeking employment. Adams highlighted YABATECH's empowerment initiatives, including entrepreneurship programmes, innovation challenges, and digital training, aimed at moving students from knowledge acquisition to application and equipping them for employment and entrepreneurship.",
