The Director General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier General Yushua Ahmed, has reiterated his administration’s commitment to partnering with stakeholders to empower Corps Members towards self-employment.
General Ahmed made this known when five Corps Members received business grants from the Founder of Activate Success International Foundation, Mrs. Love Uloko, at the NYSC National Directorate in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.
The beneficiaries, who received grants totaling over N3.2 million, are Enwemeka Blessing FC/24A/5897, Abdumalik Ibrahim FC/24A/6157, Akande Olaitan Sunday FC/24B/3856, Blessing Ijeoma Omachi FC/24B/5031, and Emmanuel Ali FC/24B/0603.
The first three recipients received N750,000 each, while the last two received N500,000 each. Their business ideas focused on fashion, food and confectionaries, horticulture, and other areas.
Mrs. Uloko explained that the beneficiaries were selected through a rigorous, transparent, and merit-based process, demonstrating creativity, resilience, and a clear vision for the future.
“As of today, we have supported 53 Corps Members through this initiative,” she said. “We are investing in dreams, nurturing potential, and sowing seeds of success that will flourish for years to come.”
Mrs. Uloko appreciated the NYSC Director General and his Management team for their unwavering partnership and dedication towards empowering Nigerian youths.
