The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has announced that it is developing a Tertiary Institutions’ Entrepreneurship Scheme (TIES) to train and finance entrepreneurship ideas of Nigerian university graduates.

This was disclosed by CBN Governor, Dr. Godwin Emefiele, on Monday at the 35th Conference of Vice-Chancellors of Nigerian Universities, holding at the Kano State University of Science and Technology (KUST)

The CBN Governor who was represented by Dr Adebowale Olabimtan-Idowu, CBN Deputy Director, Development Finance, urged the need to re-orientate youths from waiting for white-collar jobs to entrepreneurship, adding that the scheme would be developed to support the development of entrepreneurial culture, through the introduction of seamless access to affordable finance for graduates, and create employment opportunities for Nigerian youths.

“An estimated 600,000 graduates from our tertiary institutions enter the labour market annually, after participating in the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) programme, seeking the already thinned out white-collar jobs.

“The situation has contributed significantly to the rising youth unemployment across the country,” Emefiele said.

    The CBN has so many legs but no movement, they started with COVID-19 loans, later agsmeis loan, these programs ran into a ditch as no positive testimony is from those who applied throw NIRSAL. Please take it up.
