“Nigeria’s future rests on empowering its youth with skills relevant to the global digital economy. Craft Innovation Hub is taking a giant leap towards this goal,” asserts Abdulrasaq Ahmed Abiodun, Founder of Craft Innovation Hub.
In response to the critical issue of youth unemployment and the escalating demand for advanced digital skills, Craft Innovation Hub (CIH), based in Ilorin, Kwara State, is set to launch its Free Agentic AI and Automation Training. Scheduled from the 18th to 20th July 2025, this groundbreaking initiative aims to train at least 500 youths nationwide, equipping them with highly sought-after skills in agentic artificial intelligence (AI) and automation.
Agentic AI, which refers to intelligent systems capable of independently performing tasks and making decisions, alongside automation, is revolutionising industries globally. Mastery of these skills promises significant career opportunities, placing youths at the forefront of the digital economy.
The training, which is fully virtual, accessible, and entirely free, will be conducted via Google Meet daily from 4 pm to 6 pm. It embodies the Hub’s ethos: crafting futures by merging technology, vocational education, and community empowerment into a synergistic model.
Uniquely, this training honours Barrister Ifeanyi Okoli, a distinguished figure renowned for his extensive experience as an entrepreneur and litigation barrister in the UK. Barrister Okoli is celebrated for his innovative legal solutions, advocacy for tech-driven advancements, and exceptional negotiation skills. His involvement symbolises a bridge between professional excellence and digital innovation.
The training will be facilitated by Adeleke Hammed Lekan, popularly known as A-Soft, an esteemed AI and software development expert from Obafemi Awolowo University, bringing practical insights and hands-on experiences that prepare participants for immediate employment and entrepreneurial opportunities.
Craft Innovation Hub, renowned for its integrative approach, blends advanced technology training with vocational skills and entrepreneurial readiness, transforming Ilorin into a national reference point for youth innovation and empowerment. Participants of this programme will gain practical, job-ready skills, receive e-certificates, join an active alumni network, and benefit from ongoing mentorship and support.
Founder Abdulrasaq Ahmed Abiodun (PhD in View) emphasises, “This initiative is a strategic milestone for Kwara and Nigeria. It empowers our youth digitally, equipping them to thrive economically and socially.”
