Aikulola, who doubles as the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment, said the 2-Day conference, is a collaboration between the Ogun State Government and German Government through German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ).
The statement pointed out that the conference which was earlier scheduled for the first week in September would be formally declared open by the State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun with other top government functionaries in attendance, as it holds between October 11 and 12, 2023 at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library in Abeokuta by 9.00am prompt.
It indicated that the theme of the conference, " Addressing Employment and Job Creation in Ogun State- Tapping into the Global and Local Opportunities," would bring together policy makers, international development organizations, organized private sector networks and other relevant employment and labour market-related actors and youths to exchange ideas on key sectoral issues.
