The TIES will assist in creating employment for many youths graduating from various institutions of higher learning in the country annually.
Meanwhile, you can read latest News below:
According to records from NYSC, about 600,000 graduates from our tertiary institutions enter the labour market annually, after participating in the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) programme, seeking the already thinned out white collar jobs. The situation has contributed significantly to the rising youth unemployment across the country. The proposed TIE scheme would also provide a platform for building digital skills relevant to Nigeria’s broader developmental goals. He explained that efforts were ongoing aimed at addressing the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on production sectors and dwindling oil revenues in the country. “Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) portend great opportunities for addressing these gaps and accelerating economic growth by leveraging our vibrant youth population,” Mr. Emefiele concluded.
