The Federal Ministry of Youth Development has officially taken over the Agadagba Skill Acquisition Centre in Ese Odo Local Government Area of Ondo State. The move, according to the Ministry, marks a bold step to deepen youth empowerment across riverine and underserved communities.
At the handover ceremony held in Abuja, the Minister of Youth Development, Olawande Emmanuel Ayodele, announced plans to upgrade the centre into a full-fledged National Youth Camp. He said the facility will now focus on leadership development, digital innovation, entrepreneurship, and civic engagement.
The Minister praised the Minister of Regional Development, Engr. Abubakar Momoh, for his support, describing their collaboration as a “model of national unity.”
Olawande also noted that with backing from development partners such as the United Nations Development Programme, the centre is set to become, in his words, “a beacon of opportunity and transformation for young Nigerians.”
The Agadagba Centre is located in the oil-rich Ese Odo area of Ondo State and is expected to serve not just local youth, but participants from across the country.
