Details Of The N75bn Fund Approved For Nigerian Youths Between 18 & 35 Years by TheRareGem1(f): 5:27am On Jul 23, 2020 |
The Federal Executive Council (FEC) on Wednesday approved the sum of N75 billion for the establishment of the Nigerian Youth Investment Fund (NYIF). The NYIF, also tagged ‘the Youth Bank’, would create financial support for the creativity and innovation of Nigerian youths within the age range of 18 and 35 years. The Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Mr. Sunday Dare disclosed this to State House Correspondents after a lengthy FEC meeting on Wednesday night. The Minister emphasised that those between the ages of 18 and 35, who have genuine business ideas would be eligible to pitch their ideas in any of the 125 micro-credit banks across the country and qualified candidates would have access to the funds. Dare said: “For the first time in the history of Nigeria, the Federal Executive Council today approved the establishment of the Nigerian Youth Investment Fund (NYIF) to the tune of N75 billion. This fund will create a special window for accessing credit facilities and finance on the part of our youths that will help to fund their ideas, innovations." “The best way to call it is that for the first time the country will have a youth bank.” FEC also approved the Ministry of Youth and Sports Development to play a lead role in working on necessary steps in terms of legislation, organisation and other aspects of financing. “The Federal Ministry of Finance, Budget and National Planning will take the lead when it comes to the aspect of the financing, working with the CBN, the Ministry of Youth and Sports Development and other relevant MDAs." “A couple of other details will be released later, but I think the most important thing is that the N75 billion Nigerian Youth Investment Fund, to cater specifically for this target group, a population of over 68 million, got the attention and support of the Federal Executive Council today and this fund will be assessed by our youths, once they are able to present their ideas, they can assess this fund directly,” Dare added. He, however, promised that just as the N-Power programme, the process of the Youth Bank would be digital and fair to all youth aged between 18 and 35 years, regardless of tribe or social status. https://twitter.com/SundayDareSD/status/1286004140951375872?s=19 18 Likes 5 Shares

The real details will be made available to us in the near future when a corruption probe happens. That's when you'll know how the monies got spent without getting to any living thing that resembles a youth. 227 Likes 14 Shares |

SmartProf: And the money is for youths. Reading negative comments on what would benefit you people later you will say you are not a beneficiary. Start blaming the government not knowing it is your village people. 15 Likes 2 Shares |

This sounds nice but very laughable. Two things will happen, it is either most of the money goes into private purses through fictitious names posing as youth who pitched "business ideas" or people in the North will be favoured than people in the South. 50 Likes 1 Share |

Another avenue to embezzle public fund. What a ridiculous claim from government that neither has plan nor regard for the youths other than for them to be used for elections. If they are really sincere in targeting the youths, let them focus on providing them with sustainable jobs, not the type that expires after two years like npower. 9 Likes |

The federal government has been trying in this regard. Loans are quite available in this regime. The only problem is that the loans end up with their family members and children. 8 Likes |

This is indeed a welcomed development. Our youths need to start looking into self-reliance, cause that is the only route to financial freedom. In case you're wondering if you have what it takes to start a business, or perhaps you're looking for a guide or business idea, www.bloghomies.com is a place you should be. 2 Likes |
