Over 60,000 Corp members in NYSC Orientation Camps across the country are receiving basic financial training courtesy of the NNPC Foundation.
The programme, organised by Kudimata, financial education platform of Penyo Consult, is aimed at equipping youths with requisite financial skills for success in life, either as entrepreneurs or employees.
Having provided over 20,000 Nigerian graduates with basic financial education and entrepreneurial skills over the last few months, Kudimata led by the CEO, Kathleen Erhimu, identified the urgent need to form value-adding alliances to support the National Youth Service Corps SAED programme (Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurial Development) through financial education, business advisory, and empowerment initiatives.
Mrs. Emmanuella Arukwe, managing director of NNPC Foundation, said once corp members are equipped with knowledge and skills to make informed financial decisions, they are better positioned to start the next stage of their life journey. She added that NNPC is delighted to provide access to start-up resources and opportunities to ensure that our teeming youths achieve their dreams of self-actualisation.
Director General of NYSC, Brig. Gen. Y. D Ahmed, this week launched this inaugural session of the Basic Financial Education programme to all Youth Corp members across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory.
