According to The Punch, a recent announcement stated that the NNPC foundation would provide basic financial training to the 60,000 youth corps members now enrolled in NYSC Orientation Camps across the country.
“The program is designed to give Nigerian youths the necessary financial skills for success in life, whether as employees or entrepreneurs,” it stated.
“Over the past several months, over 20,000 Nigerian graduates have received basic financial education and entrepreneurship skills from Kudimata,” according to the company’s chief executive officer, Kathleen Erhimu.
