Lagos, Nigeria — September 2026
CcHUB x SAIL Innovation Lab has received an Award of Excellence for its contribution to youth job creation in Nigeria, recognizing its work in equipping young people with digital skills and creating pathways to employment opportunities.

The award was presented on September 23, 2026, at the closeout ceremony of the Challenge Fund for Youth Employment (CFYE) project, held at Sheraton Hotel.

It was received on behalf of CcHUB by Blessing Adeolu-Adediran, Senior Program and Hub Manager at SAIL Innovation Lab, who represented the organization at the event.

The recognition highlights the work delivered through SAIL Innovation Lab, where programs are fully implemented by CcHUB to equip young Nigerians with practical digital skills and prepare them to participate in the digital economy.

Through its training and learning programs, SAIL continues to provide young people with opportunities to build relevant skills, explore career pathways, and strengthen their readiness for employment.

To date, SAIL Innovation Lab has equipped more than 2500 young people with digital and employability skills, helping participants build capabilities relevant to opportunities in Nigeria’s growing digital economy.

At the heart of this work is a simple goal: to help more young Nigerians translate learning into meaningful economic opportunities.

The award also reflects the value of partnership in making this possible. CcHUB appreciates the Challenge Fund for Youth Employment (CFYE) and SAIL Foundation for their partnership and shared commitment to expanding opportunities for young people in Nigeria.

As the CFYE project comes to a close, the recognition is both a celebration of what has been achieved and an encouragement to continue investing in the skills, talent, and potential of young Nigerians.
