AKAKAK:
The Muhammadu Buhari administration, through the Bank of Industry, on Thursday formally launched a N10 billion Youths Entrepreneurship Support (YES) project to empower youth with loans to start businesses.
Speaking at the launch of the project in Abuja, the Minister for Industry, Trade and Investment, Okechukwu Enelamah, said his ministry would partner all agencies of government to create new jobs.
He said more than 40 per cent of Nigerian graduates had no jobs and that an average of eight million Nigerians entered the job market annually.
The minister said that the ‘YES’ project of BoI was part of the Federal Government’s youth employment scheme, saying that about 36,000 jobs would be created annually through ‘YES’.
He appealed to prospective beneficiaries to repay the loans for the success and sustenance of the project.
Waheed Olagunju, the acting Managing Director of BoI, said that a participant under the scheme could access up to N10 million loan with single digit interest rate and repayable over three to five years.
He said that [size=15pt]an applicant must present NYSC or higher education certificate as collateral to qualify[/size] for the loan with two external guarantors.
Mr. Olagunju said that the bank was partnering 11 consultants across the country for the first phase of the project.
Afolabi Imokhuede, a Special Assistant to the Vice President, said job creation was at the heart of the current administration.
He said that government intended to create 3.5 million jobs in the next three years, adding that the ‘YES’ project was one of the programmes.
Mr. Imokhuede advised participants to take the ‘YES’ seriously as online courses were now popular means of job creation world wide.
Nasir El-Rufai, the Governor ok Kaduna State, said that the state was partnering with BoI on job creation.
He said that the state had been able to take controlling shares in Peugeot Automobile Nigeria with the assistance of BoI.

There is everything wrong in painting her nails, wanted to take my lil sis out once, and she went and put lip gloss on, although there was nothing wrong with it, but I had her clean it up nicely " Lolo (her nickname) do u think the lip gloss is necessary?" she got the message that I don't approve of it and she wiped it off. It's all about how u relate with them.

You dont just pass through university but let university pass through you. Its part of the experience. At least you have a story to tell your kids. So live with it and enjoy it while it lasts.

i AM OF the strong opinion that our learning institutions should be made conducive for the students.
PROPER Learning cannot be imparted if the students have to worry about basic things such as water, electricity, food, clothing and shelter.

Do you ever wonder why our educational institutions cannot compete with the ones we have in the developed world?

do you ever wonder why 99.999 percent of our graduates are redundant and unemployable?? The 0.001% that were lucky enough to be GAINFULLY employed are not really making any impact.

Do you ever wonder why some of the biggest names that ever emanated from Nigeria were mostly trained abroad?
From wole soyinka to chimamada adichie, to phillip emeagwali to Fela kuti??... so many!!.... all trained overseas.

somethings go beyond having a bunch of worthless tales to tell your children.
What is the point of having such tales when the unborn child would most likely pass through same fate
