A big thank you to the Asian Development Bank (ADB) for hosting the 12th Business Opportunities Fair 2024! Our representatives, Herb Betz, III and Noel Puyat, had the opportunity to connect with valuable partners at this event, where the focus on infrastructure in the Philippines is more critical than ever, especially as climate challenges continue to impact the region. With ADB's significant investments in transport infrastructure, particularly in response to climate resilience needs, fostering collaboration and knowledge-sharing is vital for creating sustainable and future-proof solutions. At AnyWay Solutions, we are proud to contribute to these efforts by delivering engineering consulting services that enhance resilience in the transport sector.

Just a couple of weeks ago, I had the privilege of driving the #TalentInSyncInitiative, a product of Opolo Global Innovation through the #JobFair, a complementary side event of Nigeria Fintech Week 2024. In Nigeria, with #unemployment currently at 33% (as of 2024) and youth unemployment even higher, there is an urgent need to connect talent with opportunities. On the other hand, globally, the demand for #techtalent is soaring, with an estimated 150 million new tech jobs expected to be created in the next 5 years. This is where the #TalentInSync Initiative comes in, developed by my team and me, to bridge this gap. We address the challenges companies face in securing top talent and the stumbling blocks #Nigerian emerging tech talents encounter in accessing global workforce opportunities. Although the #NFW24 Job fair has come and gone, the energy and commitment to solving unemployment problems remain strong! It was an amazing experience bringing together job seekers and leading companies like Jobberman Nigeria AXA DCSL Corporate Services Ltd , OneSpan Xpress Payment Solutions Ltd , The Bulb Africa and Mkoboto to shape the future of work. A special mention to Benedicta Alalade a key team player whose efforts were instrumental to the success of the success of the Job fair.
