He wrote: “The reform aims to connect youth not only through training but also by linking them directly to the market space and private sector, ensuring that acquired skills translate into viable job opportunities.

 

“To support this, over 100,000 items have been procured to empower youth across the country.

 

“In addition the minister also confirmed that President Tinubu has approved a sum of N32.7bn for the implementation of the National Social Investment Program in 2025.

 

“Through cooperative clusters, Nigerians will benefit from low interest credits of N300,000-400,000.

 

“The initiative aims to empower vulnerable Nigerians, particularly women and youth, by enabling them to launch or expand small businesses, thus improving their livelihoods.⁠

 

“2025 promises to be a year of rewards for all Nigerians who have had to go through ongoing economic reforms as the administration seeks to fulfill the #RenewedHope Agenda.”
