All is now set for the 2018 edition of the NETSummit formerly known as National Career Fair scheduled for December 13 at the University of Lagos, Akoka Yaba, Lagos.
Organisers have pledged massive decline in unemployment in the forth coming summit through training, skill acquisition, and partnerships.
This is as the National Employment Transformation Initiative has rekindled the hope of Nigerian youth as the nation continues to turn out more unemployed graduates annually.
