According to a report released by the African Development Bank in 2015, 31% of African youth are unemployed and 263million young people will lack economic stake by 2025. With the fast-tracked revolution in technology and industries becoming tech-savvy, more skills are needed to meet market requirements and deal with social-economic issues.
