The Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, has reiterated its commitment to encouraging youth entrepreneurs to learn new skills and create micro-enterprises to boost the country’s economy.
According to NAN, Dr Isa Abdulmumin, Director Corporate Communications Department of the CBN, said this at the CBN fair on Friday in Bauchi.
Abdulmumini urged unemployed youths with good business ideas to grab the opportunities of the CBN Agric Small and Medium Enterprises Investment Scheme to access funds without collateral to pursue their dreams and aspirations.
He said that young people have the most difficulty finding new jobs and establishing new businesses to boost economic growth.
The director reiterated the commitment of the apex bank to promote business diversification through an array of interventions in the country.
He said CBN was passionate and committed to supporting businesses and promoting diversification through various interventions in agriculture, health manufacturing and other key sectors of the economy.
He assured that CBN would continue to deliver on its core mandate of ensuring monetary and price stability.
“It is instructive to state that the bank shall also continually roll out proactive and innovative policies which would ensure that all economic sub-sectors receive the desired support,” Abdulmumini said.
