<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond" , serif;">31st March 2016. The journey of four years ends today. I have
finally achieved the goal of bagging a degree in Economics. I know I’m supposed
to be happy. But where will I find a paying and befitting job to take care of
Mama and my siblings? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond" , serif;">Those are the thoughts that run through the mind of an
average Nigerian graduate upon completion of their programmes. Out of the
thousands of graduates churned out annually by tertiary institutions, only a
handful of them get employed, not forgetting the fact that there exists a
battalion of unemployed youths.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond" , serif;">According to the National Bureau of Statistics
Q4 2016 reports, youth unemployment stands at 47.4%. The youths are the bane of
any nation and any development policy that does not take into account their aspirations
will invariably fail to achieve its desired objectives. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond" , serif;">The issue of youth unemployment is a global phenomenon,
particularly in transition economies like Nigeria. The social, economic and
political costs of such crisis will be extreme. As such, each country grapple
with solutions to this seemingly intractable problem. Youth unemployment is
potentially dangerous as it sends disturbing signals to all segments of the
economy. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond" , serif;">Why are we stuck with these dead woods? Every problem has its
own solution; youth unemployment is no exception. The role of entrepreneurship
in curbing youth unemployment cannot be overemphasized. Studies have shown how
beneficial entrepreneurship can be to a country. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond" , serif;">According to Joseph Schumpeter (2008), entrepreneurship plays
an important role in the capital and output growth of an economy and
subsequently economic development. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond" , serif;">Developing the ability to recognize opportunity and giving
young people the tools to capitalize on those opportunities empower their
innovative prowess and consequently reduce the incidence of unemployment
amongst them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond" , serif;">It is in allowing young people to follow their dreams and
start their own businesses that we will see a significant change in the youth
employment statistics. To bring about a transformational change, we must create
a vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem. The creation of this ecosystem jointly
rests on the private and public sector. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond" , serif;">On the part of the government, it needs to design
macroeconomic and fiscal policies to help drive job growth by encouraging and
rewarding job creators rather than job seekers. It needs to provide an enabling
environment to enable aspiring and early stage entrepreneurs to succeed.
Measures must also be taken to embed entrepreneurship at the heart of the
educational system. The private sector, with their deep expertise in technology
and research, can play a defining role. They should embark on expanding
programmes which nurture the seeds of success through entrepreneurship
training. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond" , serif;">By embracing entrepreneurship, we are on the quest to defeating
youth unemployment. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond" , serif;">Unemployment in Nigeria is a very familiar concept to every
Nigerian, especially the youths. It has become the song on our lips, thereby,
destroying national consciousness and solidarity and love for our country. A
plethora of symposium and articles have expounded on the problem of
unemployment, without adequately providing a means to combat same.
Notwithstanding, the burden lies on the youths to act and alleviate the
situation and unless we start creating the jobs we desire to have, we will
remain in a quagmire for the rest of our lives, waiting on the government to
create jobs while the time and energy to act fades away rapidly. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond" , serif;">Naveen Jain, a renowned Indian businessman once said “A
person who sees a problem is a human being, a person who finds a solution is a
visionary and the person who goes out and does something about it is an
entrepreneur”. This implies that youths have to do more than recognize the
existence of the problem. They have to provide a solution, and to do this, they
have to be entrepreneurs. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond" , serif;">Entrepreneurship is the creation of new organizations while
youth entrepreneurship is the practical application of enterprising qualities,
such as initiative, innovation, creativity and risk-taking into the work
environment. Entrepreneurship can solve the problem of youth unemployment in
Nigeria because its effect is lower unemployment, creation of new businesses,
creation of new jobs, financial freedom and of course, the ‘governments’
favourite’, increased tax base, which ultimately results in increased revenue. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond" , serif;">An individual with passion for provision of agricultural
services is as useful to the community as a new born, but, if he channels that
passion using available resources, into establishment of an agricultural
produce company, then he truly becomes useful. As a start-up, the company would
need to purchase land for agricultural development, it would require the
service of a soil scientist, botanist, as well as an engineer equipped with
knowledge of farm machinery, some farm hands, and an accountant to keep record
of financial obligations, and a manager to oversee the affairs of the new
company and the list goes on and on, thus, creating new jobs from the new
business. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond" , serif;">This is a classic example of the effect of entrepreneurship.
An agricultural outfit was created, jobs were created as well, as such,
financial freedom would be the result upon sale of the produce, and then, the
government can adequately tax the returns made by the company to earn revenue. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond" , serif;">Therefore, the Government and successful business icons
should channel their resources to the training of entrepreneurs to build a
stronger, healthier, self-reliant individual with a capacity to give back to
the nation. Desiderius Erasmus once said “The main hope of a nation lies in the
proper education of its youth” and I dare add ‘proper education’ includes
education in entrepreneurship development.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond" , serif;">We cannot always build the future for the young, but we can
build the young for the future. Information from Nigeria Bureau of Statistics,
June 2017, shows that unemployment rate rose to 14.2%, with higher rate in
urban areas given the preference of graduates for formal white collar jobs
located mostly at urban centres. Due to depression from ult of unemployment, a
good number of our youths today, even the non-educated who were not equiped
with knowledge to be employable, decide to engage in different crimes that
exist today. Mind you, these set of individuals may be creative and brilliant,
but have no motivation for handwork. They may have joined the crime clique
because it is the only job they know that does not require certificates. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond" , serif;">Sadly, the youth unemployment problem won’t be solved quickly
or easily, and it requires a range of responses. Entrepreneurship can help the
socio-psychological and delinquency problems that come from unemployment. The
idea of involving the youths in entrepreneurship programs is to equip the
youths with the skills to be self-employed and employers of the unemployed. As
an entrepreneur you create, organize and operate your business. There are a few
prominent entrepreneurs who could make you feel optimistic about
entrepreneurship; 1) Jason Njoku is co-founder of iROKOtv, the largest online
distributor of Nollywood films. 2) Sim Shagaya is founder of Konga Online, one
of the Nigeria’s leading e-commerce company. 3) Ola Orekunrin is founder of
Flying Doctors Nigeria, West Africa’s first indigenous air ambulance service
and a crucial link for critical injured people, e.t.c. These successful
entrepreneurs may have had private motivation and sources provided for them to
learn and start up what they have today. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond" , serif;">However, embedding entrepreneurship at the heart of the
educational system is a key, a long term initiative that will help provide an
environment where the dreams of millions of young people to make an impact and
start their own enterprises can be realized. Starting from the secondary level
of education, entrepreneurship should exist in the academic curricular where
the students would be involved in the world of creative thinking, innovations,
and dreams of how to build better cars, better factories, better shoe companies
e.t.c. With this, the brain will be busy every day, boiling with new ideas to
add to what the hands can make. Subsequently, there are people whose
Intelligence Quotient (I.Q.) is limited to hand works or business, and they
need motivation and mentorship. As such, today’s entrepreneurs and business
leaders have a clear role to play in nurturing the next generation of wealth
and job creators.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond" , serif;">Also, government needs to focus on providing the necessary
support and enabling environment for entrepreneurship programs for both
educated and non-educated individuals. If the government creates a competitive
platform for young entrepreneurs, the youths will stop trading their
responsibilities with mediocrity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

JA official mentor and sold shares to the parents at PTA meetings and after
school. The enterprise was a huge success and one of the most remarkable

<b><span style="font-family: "garamond" , serif; font-size: 18pt;">Entrepreneurship
is not an accident! – </span><span style="font-family: "garamond" , serif;">Deborah Adeboyejo.</span></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">As much as Entrepreneurship is a national emergency in many developing
nations of the world like Nigeria. Structured, Opportunity entrepreneurship
should be the ideal choice.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">Entrepreneurship should be seen as a
deliberate holistic decision to create value for society rather than a 'QUICK
FIX' to 'FAST MONEY' or just for 'SURVIVAL'. Opportunity over Necessity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">Yes, we need Entrepreneurs but we also
need to let them know it is not first for the pleasure but a national service
(sometimes delayed gratification)... This type of MINDSET PRODUCES EFFECTIVE
AND SUSTAINABLE ENTREPRENEURSHIP.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<span style="font-family: "garamond" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">Yes, avalanche of businesses are needed
daily, some will fail and some will succeed. Hence entrepreneurship should be
encouraged, celebrated, empowered, and structured to facilitate the emergence
of more.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<span style="font-family: "garamond" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">Yes, there is a need to tie the ends of
large informal sectors (value created is so powerful here) and get them
empowered to facilitate structured entrepreneurship.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="border: none;">This was a development session on ‘communicating with confidence’
facilitated by Mrs. Ini Otuk Abimbola, Lead Consultant, Thistle Praxis Limited.
It was an interesting session that also turned out to be very inspiring.</span><span lang="ES-TRAD" style="border: none;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span lang="ES-TRAD" style="border: none;">M</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="border: none;">rs. Abimbola
grew up as the daughter of a road side watch repairer. She grew up poor and was
hungry most of the time. She remembers not having enough to eat. Her father was
very focused on education so he made sure she went to public schools. She had
the worst school uniform so she had a reason to have low self-esteem and low
confidence. She said “Do not let anyone talk you down and belittle you. “<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="border: none;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Speaking on communication, she talked about different types of
communication: there is verbal, non-verbal and written communication. The
channels include body language, word of mouth and tone of voice.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-border-shadow: yes; mso-padding-alt: 31.0pt 31.0pt 31.0pt 31.0pt;">

<span lang="EN-GB" style="border: none;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">She went on to add that the only way you can communicate with
confidence is if you have knowledge which means you must be open to learning
new things and carrying out research where needed. Your confidence is built
because you have the necessary knowledge. You must know how to be assertive as
you speak. Learn to make eye contact, when you maintain eye contact you are
present in the conversation. The way you present yourself is the way people
will receive you. Be very clear when you are speaking and writing. Take a deep
breath before you talk. Speak clearly and go straight to the point. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span lang="ES-TRAD" style="border: none;">Mrs. Abimbola also spoke to the girls about </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="border: none;">the</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="border: none;"> </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="border: none;">importance</span><span lang="ES-TRAD" style="border: none;"> of
having </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="border: none;">their</span><span lang="ES-TRAD" style="border: none;"> temper under control in the
midst of frustration no matter how minor. On this note, she also stressed the
importance of maintaining cordial relationships. She concluded by advising the
girls that silence can never be mis-quoted and they must understand that f</span><span lang="EN-GB">emale friendship is a powerful
force.</span><span lang="ES-TRAD" style="border: none;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond" , serif;">During the orientation session by our Executive Director,
Mrs. Sini Nwogugu, the girls introduced themselves and shared the aspirations they
had for their lives and the world at large. One of the girls hit the nail on head
as she said “I am here to get everything this camp has to give”. That is the
kind of determination that is needed to create tomorrow’s leaders. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond" , serif;">Another highlight from the first day was an impromptu visit
from veteran actors, Ramsey Nouah and Desmond Elliot who were on set nearby and

themselves and the power they have as women to change the world.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
