National Youths Service Corps (NYSC) members are to get N100million interest \u2013free loan under the Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development unit of the scheme.<\/p>\n
According to NYSC Coordinator in Sokoto state, Musa Abubakar, the gesture was to enable corps members to establish small-scale enterprises and become employers of labour.<\/p>\n
Each of the benefitting corps members would be given a minimum of N3million and a maximum of N10 million.<\/p>\n
The loans are to be disbursed to the corps members by NYSC, Central Bank of Nigeria, Bank of Agriculture, Bank of Industry, Heritage Bank, and the NYSC Foundation.<\/p>\n
This was disclosed this Friday at the NYSC Cultural Carnival organized to boost peace, unity and integration of the nation.<\/p>\n
Abubakar said the NYSC management had also signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in that direction.<\/p>\n
He expressed optimism that the gesture would help in reducing poverty, unemployment, restiveness and criminalities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
