Things like these are what councillors in local govts should be competeting for and coordinating to boost their local economy and not someone seated far in abuja....give us true federalism please

And wer will d skills acquired be exhibited or practice

louqas:


The story is about an IGBO minister doing good things and this one is here ranting about yoruba soup............ see what inferiority complex has done to your psyche..... when you are afraid of your own shadow ......... the fear of the yoruba man is the beginning of wisdom for the Iboman.

Fear you for what reasons? Because you know how to talk before you think. After voting wrongly you call it national error. Rubbish!!

Na every day dem they begin Skill acquisition program

Foolish people. What about the skill acquisition part of the Npower program. Nobody is saying anything about that one again.
Yeye Government. Idiots

These are the most confused set of ministers to ever lead this country. How can you continuously bring up programmes only to execute them half way and jump to the next one? What is really wrong with this government sef. The feeding of primary school students is still not implemented in most part of the country; 5k payment to most vulnerable is still alien to most states as they are left in the dark (one begin to wonder if all these programmes are regional) and the N-Power scheme is another headache not just for the unselected candidates but also those selected as payment is epileptically implemented.
Where do we get it wrong; is it a crime to vote APC? Who are the people constituted as committee to ensure implementation of these programmes? God will deliver us from this inexperienced sets of leaders o

This should be run simultaneously with developing and encouraging research in our educational sector.

DEAR NIGERIANS
I am a Phd student researching nigeria. Risk is what most nigerians fear. They are afraid of what will happen after. Question like ' who will take care of my family if I die ' what would happen to me if I do it. I don't want to become a begger. These are what keeps most nigerians from taking risk. That is why no body wants to challenge the government. It is what makes nigerians docile.
Here in nigeria our children are the insurance Company we have. They will take care of us when we grow old. So how can such children afford to take risk? Nigerian can never die for nigeria. Their loyalty lies elsewhere.
But what if there is an organisation like a god father that then agree to shoulder the risk of every nigerian for a monthly fees. What do you think will happen. I will call them big brother. It will be both an insurance company and a brotherhood. Any member intimidated by the government agents should report.
Ordinary nigerians have nobody to run to when they are offended. They just swallow it.

Very short post but deep in meaning. Classic example of putting the cart before the horse.

This is the question I have asked for years, What happened to all the graduates leaving our teaching and learning institutions? Why ask someone who studied Tourism or Psychology in a tertiary institution (who has already learnt a skill sufficient for contribution to society) to go learn how to weave a basket just to make a living? Isn't that breach of trust beween a government and its people? These people who learn these skills at the centers would still have to establish their businesses in the same environment that graduate professionals and foreign investors fearfully dread to do business in.

Fix Power, Security, Provide and Regulate Fast Safe and affordable Transportation(No journey should take more than a day to get from point A to B and return to A, in a country the size of Nigeria) I suggest robust rail networks to decongest our overloaded beyond capacity roads, then ensure enforcement Agencies work effectively to assure innovators of intellectual property rights protection. Do these and you wouldnt need to set up any skills acquisition center anywhere. Those things would come naturally as quick as lightning because the enabling environment would exist for businesses to Thrive.

how can some one be part of this program

Mad people...
Den neva pay Npower Volunteers ooo.

The Injustice of FGN, CBN and Heritage Bank on The Beneficiaries of (YIEDP)
We the beneficiaries of youth innovative entrepreneurship development program (YIEDP).
A program initiated by the federal government through Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) in collaboration with Heritage Bank, has decided to let the world know about the injustice that had been done to the Nigerian youth with this scheme. This has become very necessary as we the final beneficiaries of the said scheme are yet to be disbursed with funds almost a year after the initiation of the scheme. This scheme was initiated January 2016 with over 10,000 graduates applying for the scheme, after their initial screening, HB made the world know that only 1,500 graduates were able to pass through the first stage, which was accepted by both losers and final shortlisted. The next stage was training which Heritage Bank (HB) did in collaboration with National Youth Service Corps (NYSC)to put us through all the processes of business plan. After the training our business plans were submitted with the hope that after three weeks funds would be released again we were shortlisted after the submission of our business plans and 310 persons were selected finally. HB in conjunction with CBN and NYSC organized a press conference in Abuja, where they presented placards of three million only to beneficiaries signifying the official business plan implementation. As if heritage bank was compelled by CBN to either do the scheme or lose their license , they came up with ambiguous conditions that even companies with large physical assets might find difficult to meet. We complained and they went back to meet with CBN and came up with conditions still unfriendly but because we are determined as entrepreneurs we forged ahead, to show both CBN and heritage bank that the Nigerian youths are capable. As the process progresses that’s how HB keeps coming up with more hidden conditions but for the determination and resilience we have, we kept on. Most of us eventually resigned from our jobs to be more focused on our passion to succeed.
We had to submit our institution certificate and Nysc certificates and also provide a guarantors that guaranteed 50% of the loan in case of default. This is a loan we are expected to pay with interest but we are made to undergo so much, apart from the fact that HB refused to train their staff on relationship management they continue to treat us as if we are beggars and they are doing us a favor. The federal government the initiator of the program through CBN has given a posture of ‘ I don’t care' and according to the federal government is expected to employ millions of youths during this administration. How on earth would that be possible with this kind of laxity on the part of government and heritage bank that act as if they suffering liquidity problem. It has gotten to a level where our patient had hit the peak and the following conditions are set out to the federal government, CBN or heritage bank:
That a definite date must be given on when the last beneficiary of this program is to be disbursed, with a date convenient to all parties.
That henceforth HB must let us take full custody of our business plan as this was the reason we were selected by them.
That HB must give us the room to initiate creative ideas for our businesses and create open platform for collaboration when necessary.
That the federal government must give us free channel to get across to agencies that will help our businesses succeed.
We are by this press statement giving all parties till 3rd of Feb 2017 to address the above conditions. If our request is not met by the stipulated date, the federal government and CBN should expect to see us at the headquarters in Abuja on the 6th of Feb 2017 and to show our seriousness we won’t be leaving the premises of the CBN until:
• They address the above issues with a concrete conviction of implementation
• All logistics incurred by every participant in this solidarity move must be fully paid .
We cannot be ready to productive while our institutions continues to discourage us.

We are tired of these skills acquisition programs that leads to no where.

What we want is sincerity on the part of the government and evenly distribution of the beneficiaries.
Not North to have 90% of the beneficiaries.

U are over making sense my brother!
Every year nothing less than 5000 graduates leave the university apparently to find a suitable job to start with but no way...the cycle continues like that for years..my question is: for how long will it go on like this?
