The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), on Thursday, reaffirmed its commitment to assisting corps members interested in entrepreneurship with start-up loans through collaborations with financial institutions.
According to Mrs Rifkatu Yakubu, the Bauchi State Coordinator of NYSC, during the closing ceremony for the 2023 Batch “C” stream II orientation course, said engaging in business would enhance self-reliance and empower corps members to make significant contributions to the economy while calling on corps members’ employers to mentor them properly to enable them to develop their potential for national development.
She said, “It is my ardent hope that the corps members will strive to meet the expectations of Nigerians by contributing towards the progress and development of our fatherland.
“The NYSC is liaising with financial institutions and other stakeholders to provide start-up loans to enable them to actualize their business dreams,” she added.
