WaveBay Capital provides patient capital to local solutions that create employment and inclusive transformation
- Nigerian youths experience high unemployment and underemployment (35 and 65 percent). Unemployment and underemployment have a lot of harmful consequences on the country’s growth, personal development, and social structures (NBS, 2016).
- Youths lack access to spaces to enhance their skillset. However, the young people of badagry are part of a tech-savvy generation and can pick up new skills quickly.
The Badagry Tech-Hub is a skills development centre dedicated to enhancing youths’ economic, human, and social capital via technology. Through a people-centred approach, the Badagry Tech Hub will assure the development of Badagry youths’ human capital. As a result, hone entrepreneurial, soft, digital, vocational, and idea-generation abilities which will ultimately help with the unemployment epidemic. The Badagry Tech Hub’s strategy is to provide a Training and Learning Centre to help Badagry’s youth develop their talents. As a result, more youth must obtain skill-based training for employment, decent labour, and entrepreneurship to meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG4).
The rural sector, dominated by agricultural operations, has a high unemployment rate of 25.6 percent.

As a result, residents’ lives improve by providing jobs and a steady income.
The investment is in line with SDG 2 no hunger. Small-scale farmers feed the globe, but they are disproportionately poor.
