The National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, has reaffirmed its commitment to assisting corps members interested in entrepreneurship with start-up loans, through collaborations with financial institutions.
The Bauchi State Coordinator of NYSC, Mrs Rifkatu Yakubu, stated this on Thursday, during the closing ceremony for the 2023 Batch “C” stream II orientation course.
According to her, engaging in business would enhance self-reliance and empower corps members to make significant contributions to the economy.
Yakubu also called on corps members’ employers to mentor them properly to enable them to develop their potential for national development.
“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 actualize their business dreams,” she said.
Yakubu urged the corps members to always sustain the spirit of patriotism, hard work and resilience imbibed during the orientation course throughout their service year and beyond.
