UK businessman and former reality TV star Doug Richard has launched an initiative in Nigeria to help young entrepreneurs set up businesses.

"There's everything from web start-ups to snail farms going on," he told the BBC's Newsday programme.

The former judge on the Dragons' Den show said he hoped to help 1,250 people set up businesses in a scheme funded by the Nigerian and UK governments.

The West African state is plagued by chronic poverty and unemployment.

Mr Richard said his School for Startups would help young entrepreneurs in Nigeria to develop and execute business ideas.

"Nigeria has the potential to be Africa's entrepreneurial superpower," he said.

Mr Richard said he was looking forward to working in Nigeria, Africa's most populous country with some 160 million people.

"It's the single most diverse group of opportunities I shall ever see in my life," he said.

"I'm hoping that the vast majority of the 1,250 [people earmarked for training] start up businesses and that business is on the way to some kind of success."

He said the Nigerian government had set aside $15m (£9.5m) to help entrepreneurs open businesses.

Good move, but again FG need to do thier home work well, because the british are very cleaver and smart, let us get figures and prove our argument

we I don't see anything wrong for a church to go into airline business, if a mere church can own an airline then shame of federal Govt of Nigeria, if the govt can copy from how this big churches run their parishes (Organisation) then Nigeria will be better

but for you guys who never want to see someone doing something, get a life

if this news is true i think the Gov has done a good job, One big problem Nigeria have is that the gov fail to enpower people

I think both of them are good, but to choose one is very dificult, is like saying which is more important the eyes or the leg

so I will say they both need each other,

but let us wait and see

I think the video is missing some thing but all well and good nice song
