Hello MODS and AMINS of nairaland.com we beg you on behalf of all the unemployed graduates in Nigeria to please take this to the front page so the unemployed can benefit from it. thanks.



Please share and tell your friends: its urgent and important for Us.

All the meetings we ever tried fixing with any government ministry, agency or departments have seldom been know to have failed but on the contrary the meeting with the bureau of Investment and Public private Partnership of oyo state and the National Association of Unemployed graduates(NAUG), NASME and NASE was a very fruitful one I must say.

The meeting started at about 2.47 pm and was chaired by the Mrs Folakemi Akinleye the Special Adviser to the government on investment and public Private partnership on behalf of the executive governor of Oyo state and also accompanied by Mr Fatoki and the DG. Mr Fijabi.

I won't like to bore you with the long reports from other organisation which took a greater potion of the day but in the end the 10 minutes allotted us was enough for us to steal the show and the SA was really interested in our case.

We gave an insight into our activities and state our demands as follows.

1) Hectares of land for Agricultural purposes and building of farm settlements

2) Provision of capacity building for business management, skills and training.

3) Funds,grants and industrial clusters.

4) Providing business incubation centres to bring in more people into production was suggested by the NASME chairperson chief mrs Adejumo , as a means of creating a crucial point where small and medium scale businesses can take off without the interference of some governments agencies like NAFDAC,SON etc coming after them with demands beyond their capabilities. She made reference to the Agege Business incubation centre and propose we visit the place to better understand its activities and operations.

The SA Mrs Folakemi Akinleye promised the government of Oyo state would give her support to all 4000 unemployed graduates of NAUG in Oyo states and she even mentioned that there are some openings in both the public and private sector she would help fix us into.(At this points you can keep your CVs coming naugnaija@gmail.com)
She mentioned that the old NTC building and the abandoned CBN quarters would be used as the incubation centres, she spoke passionately about our cassava project, since we told her we want to go into cassava production and make Oyo state the largest producer of Garri, starch,flour and all the products of cassava just to mention a few in west Africa and she advised us come up in a couple of weeks with our feasibility outline of our project taking into consideration the value chain of our final products.

A whole lot of issues was deliberated upon which we really can't put into writing.
But most IMPORTANT is the next meeting in Oyo state on the 26th.

PLEASE NOTE THAT TO THESE EFFECTS THERE IS GOING TO BE A CRUCIAL MEETING on the 26th of July at immanuel college primary school, U.I, Ibadan. @ 10 AM prompts please come with your CVs and come along with your friends.

For those outside ibadan if interested send " I am interested to 07030717445 with your 1)Name
2)Qualification
3)Phone number
4)Email address



And be prepared for a general meeting of all NAUG members nation wide in lagos after the Oyo state meeting.

OK.... noted

Good one but sorry to say, this association has become more of OYO (Yorubaland) than being nationwide. Dont forget those who showed interest all over the country in starting the association way back. I am sure most of them are still jobless. Remember them in other parts of the country. #blessed

Noted and thanks but remember we are all still unemployed and inaruguratng other states involves some logistics we haven't been able to put in place due insufficient funds. We are definately coming to other states. We would as soon as we can.
Thanks.
