DHDEI Allocates 241 Beneficiaries to Technical and Vocational Skills Training in Ilaje, Concludes First Batch of 2026 Empowerment Programme

The Dakiz Human Development and Empowerment Initiative (DHDEI) has successfully concluded the first batch of its 2026 Youth Empowerment Programme in Ilaje, Ondo State, with the allocation of 241 beneficiaries to various technical and vocational skill trainings. This milestone marks another significant step in the organization’s commitment to equipping young people and adults with practical, income-generating skills at no training cost.

Speaking on the development, the Chairman of the Central Committee of the project, Mr. Adesoji Feyijimi, emphasized that the selected beneficiaries reflect the diversity of Igbokoda, comprising individuals from different tribes and nationalities residing within the community. This, he noted, reinforces DHDEI’s inclusive approach to empowerment and community development, ensuring that no willing participant is left behind based on background or origin.

The selection process was both rigorous and transparent. A total of 467 applications were received, out of which 304 applicants met the criteria for screening. Following a detailed evaluation, 264 candidates were initially selected, and 241 were eventually allocated to begin training across various technical and vocational fields under the organization’s well-structured programme framework.

The beneficiaries are to undergo training at no training fee cost, with programme durations ranging from six months to two years, depending on the specific skill area. The allocated skills span multiple areas of technical and vocational expertise, designed to promote self-reliance, entrepreneurship, and sustainable livelihoods.

Through this initiative, DHDEI continues to address unemployment, reduce social vices, and empower communities by building capacity from the grassroots. As the first batch commences training, the organization reaffirms its dedication to maintaining quality, monitoring progress, and ensuring that beneficiaries complete their programmes with tangible skills that will position them for economic independence and societal relevance.

In a strategic move to deepen grassroots impact and expand opportunities for young people, the Dakiz Human Development and Empowerment Initiative (DHDEI) has officially taken its empowerment program to Ore Town, widely regarded as the economic capital of Ondo State.

Earlier today, the Visioneer, Akingbade Toluwa-Jolomi, paid a working visit to Ore, the headquarters of Odigbo Local Government Area, where he held a crucial meeting with the local coordinating team. The engagement focused on planning and structuring the forthcoming ORE YOUTH EMPOWERMENT 2026, a project set to transform the economic and social landscape of the town.

A major highlight of the meeting was the unveiling of 12 carefully selected skill areas that will form the backbone of the empowerment program. These skills are designed to meet current market demands while equipping participants with practical, income-generating capabilities.

According to details from the meeting, the initiative will strategically cover two major economic corridors within Ore, namely the Jerry Sawmill Axis and the Mobil/Express Road Axis. These areas, known for their commercial vibrancy and high youth population, have been identified as critical zones for impactful intervention.

The project will be spearheaded by Miss Olaoba Kemisola, the Project Coordinator, alongside Miss Khadija Adeola, the Secretary of the DHDEI Ore Committee. Both young women bring not only leadership capacity but also inspiring personal stories, having benefited from DHDEI’s empowerment programs in the past.

Kemisola is a certified fashion designer, while Khadija is a trained makeup artist. Notably, both acquired their skills through DHDEI’s free training initiative, a model that continues to remove financial barriers for aspiring youths.

Speaking during the visit, Akingbade Toluwa-Jolomi emphasized that their emergence as leaders in this project reflects the true vision of the organization, which is to raise empowered individuals who, in turn, empower others.

The ORE YOUTH EMPOWERMENT 2026 project is expected to provide practical, marketable skills to participants, further strengthening local enterprise, reducing unemployment, and promoting sustainable community development.

With preparations now in motion, stakeholders and residents of Ore are optimistic that this intervention will mark a new chapter of growth, opportunity, and self-reliance for the youth population.

More updates to follow as the project unfolds.
