YabaTech Secures N1.5 Billion Grant for Girls’ Education and Skills Partnership
Share

Yaba College of Technology (YabaTech) has been awarded a grant of N1.5 billion for the Girls’ Education and Skills Partnership (GESP). This milestone follows the adoption of a proposal by YabaTech researchers: Dr. Funmilayo Doherty, Dr. Ibraheem Abdul, Engr. Adebayo Adebari, Mr. Amos Alade, Dr. Olusola Dada, and Dr. Idowu Aneyo from the University of Lagos.

The grant, funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and managed by UNICEF, was secured through a competitive selection process. The proposal reflects YabaTech’s strong commitment to education and skill development, setting it apart from other competitors.

“The GESP initiative aims to empower adolescent girls and young women by enhancing their access to valuable skills and economic opportunities,” the statement said. “This project will equip young women aged 13-24 with the necessary tools to thrive, fostering entrepreneurship, employability, and access to further education.”

Through GESP, 5,250 girls in Lagos State will receive training in GSM and mobile phone repairs, Computer Hardware Maintenance and Repairs, Mobile Applications Development, and Web Application Development over two years. The project also involves collaboration with the International Network for Advancing Science and Policy (INASP) UK, utilizing their gender-responsive pedagogy.

This achievement underscores YabaTech’s dedication to excellence and innovation in education, highlighting its pivotal role in driving positive change within the community and beyond.
