The Federal Ministry of Youth and Sports
Development has distanced itself from the
activities of St. George International
Resources LTD; which recently placed
advertorials in several national dailies asking
young Nigerians to pay certain fees to enable
them participate in a youth empowerment
scheme .
The ministry, in a statement signed by its
Permanent Secretary, Chinyeaka Christian
Ohaa, further directs Nigerians to refrain
from further transactions with this company
on the strength of the belief that it has the
endorsement of the Ministry.
The ministry’s statement reads:
“The attention of the Federal Ministry of
Youth and Sports Development has been
drawn to activities of ST. George
International Resources LTD. Group which
approached the Ministry for partnership to
deliver on a proposed International Youth
Empowerment & Development Scheme which
was published in the Daily Sun of 9/12/15,
The Nation and Daily Trust of 10/12/15.
“The Ministry adopted the principle of the
scheme because of its foreseeable far
reaching effects on the various policy
direction of creating jobs and employment
opportunities for Nigerian youths. The
proposal was for a delegation of the Ministry
to be led by the Minister and other top
officials of the Ministry to visit some of the
countries where the training will take place,
discuss with the Development Partners and
sign the MOU that will kick start the
programme.
“Unfortunately, the said Company, St. George
International Resources Group had, in
violation of the terms of agreement
proceeded to recruit and collect money from
prospective applicants. Not only that, in a
publication on its website purported to have
originated from the Ministry and signed by
the Permanent Secretary, St. George
International Resources Group LTD misled
many young people to believe our
wholesome endorsement of the said
programme.
“The Ministry of Youth and Sports
Development highly regrets any
inconvenience caused by the actions of St.
George International Resources Group Ltd.
The Ministry further directs Nigerians to
refrain from further transactions with this
company on the strength of the belief that it
has the endorsement of the Ministry.
“Furthermore, the Hon. Minister has directed
that every step should be taken to secure the
monies so far collected and a process has
been initiated to unbundle the mystery
surrounding this unfortunate development. In
line with probity, the Hon. Minister has
ordered the company to refund all monies so
far collected from applicants within 7 days of
this publication.”

Yes it's true and ideal of Nigerian companies. One doesn't need to doubt.

Even recruitment into Nigerian Armed forces are sold to millions of job seekers and only a few lucky ones, mostly from the stakeholders, make it on annual basis.

In Nigeria the unemployed are the milk cow on whose pains we feed the rich.
