Hundreds of Nigerian youths are expected to benefit from a $700m empowerment initiative being put together by local vehicle assembler, PAN Nigeria Limited, with the support of the Nigerian Society of Engineers.

The scheme, Shade Tree Youth Empowerment Initiative, is designed to provide entrepreneurial skills to interested young people within the value chain of the automotive industry, according to a statement by the auto company.

It said, “The project will provide employment generation, wealth creation, modernization and standardization of practices and skills within the service arena of the automotive industry.”

Already, the scheme would be launched at the company’s factory in Kaduna on Wednesday (tomorrow) as part of its corporate social responsibility programme.

It quoted PAN Nigeria’s Managing Director, Mr. Ibrahim Boyi, as describing the project as an industry-specific initiative for the empowerment of Nigerian youth willing to become entrepreneurs in the automotive sector.

It named the President, Nigerian Society of Engineers, Mr. Otis Anyaeji, as the Chairman of the scheme’s Board of Trustees.

The statement also said that the prototype of the STYEI garage would be inaugurated by the Minister of Trade, Industry and Investment, Mr. Okechukwu Enelamah.

The initiative, it added, would be supported by the United Nations Development Programme through the country director as well as other development partners.

PAN Nigeria recently promised to support the President Muhammadu Buhari administration through the creation of jobs and other measures that could speed up the development of the nation’s economy.

The PAN Nigeria’s team led by Boyi gave the pledge during a visit to the Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo.

Osinbajo assured the team that the administration would always take a responsible decision that would promote and protect the local industries, including the automobile industry, indicating renewed government’s patronage of local products.

We have all it takes to be the most powerful nation on earth, but our leaders are always out to frustrate our dream and our youth are not helping issues at all, 2019 is around the corner.

if no be bet9ja i no want ooooo before dem go tell me npopwer wey i never see any body wey get am.....

ok

fake promises as usual

A

This is a great development and I hope it is never politicized. Put round peg in a round hole

kkk

Ok ooooh, its a welcome Development as a news. Am looking forward to when the black nation will start being responsible to their needs and use their product. Cos after empowerment to be enterpreneurs the government will still go and import vehicles for use. Except they want to empower them on vehicle maintenance.

So how do we apply?

If we have pan (peogueot assembly coy) in Nigeria, why are the parts and the car itself still very expensive?

The only institution capable of overthrowing the Nigerian state is religion. The revolution Nigerians so much yearn for will begin in a church or a mosque. We'd talk about this some other time. Good morning

This policy can work if the government patronizes locally manufactured vehicles, imagine if all government offices use either PAN or innoson cars, the companies will blossom and thereby employing more youths.

But sadly our government will buy imported cars instead of patronising locally made ones that will grow the economy

Why in kaduna why not other better part of Nigeria... this are just games and stupid act to make bubu northern people empowered... this man issa fraud and the fake osinbanjo will be licking is yansh.. ha naija is in ruins

Do these people know what 700 million dollars is

Its for the northen part alone,cos if not it wuld av been conducted through the geo political zones

following..........

with this huge amount, one will be surprised that not a single youth you know shall be empowered

Yimu

How can someone be part of this scheme?

All this things will not be needed in the first place if the govt will simply liberalize all sectors in the economy and make Nigeria a highly conducive place for running a business.
