“The issue of young people being told that they need three years’ experience before being promoted will be a thing of the past,” Ms Abubakar said, adding that internship will be considered part of one’s professional experience and is all that will be required for one to qualify for certain positions.

Referring to the terrorist attack in Nairobi last week, she said the radicalisation of young people is made possible by lack of employment and income-generating opportunities.
