Kano, Nigeria – October 4, 2024:

The 2024 Kano Career Connect Expo, hosted by Big Tech Agency, saw industry leaders, government officials, and career-minded individuals come together to explore the future of employment and economic development in Nigeria. One of the most anticipated speakers was the CEO of Data2Bots Dami Oke, who delivered a keynote address on the significant role that data and technology can play in tackling Nigeria’s persistent unemployment challenges. His message was clear: data-driven solutions are essential for building a resilient workforce and fostering economic growth.

In his speech, the CEO emphasized the need for innovative approaches to workforce development, highlighting Data2Bots’ latest initiative, Data2Employ. He explained how Data2Employ is designed to leverage data analytics to create pathways for employment across various sectors in Nigeria. “Data2Employ is more than a program,” he stated. “It’s a movement aimed at transforming the Nigerian workforce by using data to make informed decisions and create sustainable job opportunities.”

Data2Employ: A Strategic Response to Unemployment

The CEO introduced Data2Employ as a groundbreaking initiative in the planning stages, aimed at reducing unemployment by equipping Nigerian state governments with data-driven tools to develop their workforces. He noted that Data2Bots is actively collaborating with several state governments, including Kano, Lagos, Oyo, and Bayelsa, to align the program’s goals with their unique employment challenges. “Our discussions with state governments are focused on understanding their needs and designing data-centric strategies that can empower local job creation,” he shared.

Through partnerships with these states, Data2Employ will offer insights into job market trends, skill gaps, and training needs, helping governments make strategic decisions that drive meaningful employment. “Data2Employ is tailored to address the specific needs of each region, utilizing data to guide workforce development efforts that are impactful and scalable,” he said.

Keynote Highlights: The Power of Data in Workforce Development

The CEO’s speech focused on three key areas:

• Data-Driven Decision-Making: By utilizing data analytics, governments can make informed decisions on workforce investments, which can yield higher employment rates and improved economic stability. He pointed out that Nigeria’s unemployment rate stands at over 33%, underscoring the urgent need for data-based strategies to counter this trend.
• Partnerships and Collaboration: Data2Bots has forged strategic partnerships with tech organizations, educational institutions, and government bodies to expand the reach of Data2Employ. “Partnerships are crucial,” he emphasized. “No single entity can tackle unemployment alone. Together, we can create a collaborative ecosystem that empowers our workforce.”
• Impactful and Sustainable Solutions: Data2Employ’s approach includes identifying specific industries with growth potential and aligning training programs to equip young Nigerians with the skills needed in those sectors. He cited examples of countries that have reduced unemployment through similar data-driven initiatives, sparking hope that Nigeria can achieve comparable success.

A Call to Action for the Future

The CEO concluded his keynote with a call to action for the entire audience. He urged government officials, private sector leaders, and educators to join forces in embracing data-driven solutions for workforce development. “The future of Nigeria lies in the hands of our youth. By investing in data, technology, and partnerships, we are investing in a brighter tomorrow for all Nigerians,” he said.

Looking Ahead: Data2Employ’s Vision

The speech left attendees with a clear vision of Data2Employ’s potential to reshape Nigeria’s employment landscape. Though still in the planning stages, Data2Employ is poised to make a lasting impact through ongoing collaborations with Kano, Lagos, Oyo, and Bayelsa. The CEO shared that Data2Bots plans to expand Data2Employ beyond Nigeria in the coming years, ultimately transforming it into a global solution for unemployment.

“As we continue to refine Data2Employ, we are optimistic about the road ahead. We believe that by combining the power of data with a shared commitment to change, we can help Nigeria and other countries tackle one of the greatest challenges of our time,” he concluded.
