On August 14, 2025, the 9ja Food Fiesta team paid a courtesy visit to the Honourable Commissioner for Youths and Sports Development, Hon. Kwanta Yakubu, in Lafia, Nassarawa State.
The Ministry of Youths and Sports Development in Nassarawa State is charged with the vital responsibility of empowering youths, promoting sports excellence, and creating opportunities for sustainable personal and economic growth.
During the visit, we shared the vision and mission of the 9ja Food Fiesta which is to equip 2,000 youths, women, and persons with disabilities in Nassarawa State with strategic, life-changing skills in Fashion, ICT, Culinary Arts, and Agriculture. These skills are designed to help beneficiaries achieve financial freedom, security, and sustainable livelihoods.
We commended the state government for its continuous efforts in engaging and empowering its youth population. However, we also noted that with the state’s growing population, no single effort is enough. That is why 9ja Food Fiesta, backed by experienced tutors, dedicated volunteers, and a tested platform, seeks the ministry’s permission and partnership to deliver on what we do best — empowering lives through skills.
We have identified the hidden potential within the youths and women of Nassarawa State, and we are here to ignite it with the right skills, relevant information, and opportunities to thrive.
The meeting was marked by mutual understanding and a shared commitment to creating a brighter future for the state’s young people.
