Yes! Give the food-some people need it. However, give them economic empowerment schemes/SMEs barbing saloons, wieldering/artisan workshops etc that will economically empower them.

mrvitalis:
Buy 100 na transport them to Lagos and sale for 150k na

Or you just shut up.. A lot of people who haven't done business would just open mouth way

Diesel is 1460 per litre right now... It would cost you 30k to move each one minimum
Fuel, truck, police and army settlement
That's a cost price of 110k

Mortality rate of say 10% or u think they can't die?

Settle all the layers of agboro Tinubu has placed in Lagos would cost 15k per ram minimum

That's 135k cost price... 50% profit would get 65k

So 200k is a fair price

To address the dearth of manpower in the aviation sector, the Federal Government has approved the listing of Eastwing Aviation Training Institute under the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE).

Having met the technical evaluation by the FG, the Institute can now commence the process of admission of students through the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, JAMB, and the students, upon completion of their studies, will be awarded national diploma and high national diploma, respectively.

Speaking on the approval, the founder and CEO of Eastwing Aviation, Dr. Christopher Edeh, urged youths to take advantage of the opportunity offered by the institution to achieve their dream of becoming pilots, aviation engineers, cabin crew or other functions found in the sector.

He said: “What this approval means for our youths is that every one of them now has the opportunity to explore this field, even if it means just coming to us for advice. The institution would encourage and help build the dream because we do not want you to stay idle after graduating.

“It has been my desire to give back to society considering what I have passed through from the day I joined the Nigerian Air Force.

“Being the first aviation school in the South-East region means a lot to us. It means that I am getting closer to my dream and I have reached that stage where society can benefit from me.”

Explaining the process of getting the institute certified, Edeh disclosed that he worked with former colleagues to realize the project. “Those who worked with me on this project were colleagues that we served together. They have been very supportive throughout this quest. It was purely a communal effort, what you would call ‘Wazobia’ and we are where we are today.”

The Eastwing Aviation Institute also recently established a non-governmental organisation to encourage less privileged youths who are talented and who meet the basic requirements but are not able to financially pursue their dreams.

According to the founder, “We are hopeful that the new dawn would encourage a huge turn up. Many people regard the aviation sector as rocket science; now we have brought it to their doorsteps. For interested candidates, there are many areas in this field they can fit in; go to airports, all you see are many people carrying luggage and we believe they can do more than that.”

Speaking further, Dr Edeh recounted: “A good example is one of the security personnel I worked with who was talented and hardworking. I realised this and encouraged him to do more for himself seeing that he has potential. Today, he is an aircraft maintenance engineer in one of the airlines.”

Naira yesterday surged to a new height of N1,173.88 at the official while appreciating slightly to N1,480 as against N1,500 it was on Monday at the unofficial market.

The British Pound also recorded a marginal gain at N1,888 while Euro exchanged for N1,630. The Canadian Dollars sold for N1,112 and one Chinese Yuan was sold for N150.

While this is good news, there was no data or any recognisable fundamentals either from the Central Bank of Nigeria or the Ministry of Finance to justify the latest upward surge.

Stakeholders argue that the Nigerian naira needs stability, just as the latest gain will further interrogate the potency of CBN’s monetary policy rate and other fiscal policies to stabilise the naira.

The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, insisted that high investment in agriculture has the potential to reduce food inflation and strengthen the naira, saying, “the President’s reforms, strategies and programmes have turned the country in the right direction of growth,” he said, adding that the potential that agriculture has to help move the economy forward and reduce inflation has not yet been tapped.

“By the time the dry season harvest is over, and the wet season production come in, it is going to significantly bring down food inflation which is 50 percent of headline inflation in the country.”

The Minister, who did not mention any policy decision taken so far by the government to stabilise the naira going forward, argued that as inflation comes down, it will give the monetary authority a chance to stabilise the exchange rate.”
