Reduction of Graduate unemployment in Nigeria


Reduction unemployment among young graduates in Nigeria.To reduce poverty through entrepreneurship development and economic liberalization policies.
Hitherto,it has been government creating jobs without added economic value .Poor enabling environment for businesses and poor business culture. This project will be carried out by my NGO-The Afri Our target audience are students (secondary and tertiary institutions of learning) and opinion leaders in the media(which include policy makers,academics and civil society).
These people get their news from the social and print media, survey and interviews.
The students are more interested in their future livelihood, which is a function of job employment. While the opinion leader are more concern about their legacy.
The civil society members are better at fulfilling this project becouse they are closer to the people,in this case students at the grassroot. Africa Focus on Entrepreneurship and Economic Development(A-FEED)
