Bank of Industry (BOI) – The Youth Entrepreneurship Support (YES) programme is an ambitious programme by the Bank of Industry (BOI) aimed at addressing youth unemployment in Nigeria which is currently over 50%.

In addition, they hardly take care of the entire training value chain in terms of Entrepreneurship, Business Management and Technical Skills.
