Today we had representatives from the CBN address us. They outlined series of financial assistance offered by the government to assist youths. There are several attractive loan packages that the CBN offers to specially for Agric purposes. I was beginning to wonder if this is the same Nigeria that people complain about unemployment.
We must not ignore the fact that it is not as easily accessible as it is portrayed. At the same time, we must not also ignore the fact that people prefer to sit back idly earning trickles rather than research heavily and come up with proposals that can gain sponsorship.
Aside loans, there at also cash prizes for the best 3 proposals in each state of the federation. Then, the best proposals in all the states will compete at the national level for a more attractive price. This is a win win situation, you can get a prize for your idea, most especially if it is able to provide enjoyment and contribute to the community or economy at large.
Another opportunity that is within the reach of anyone diligent enough is automatic employment or scholarship to further studies up to doctorate level. This, however, week but come by wishing. This comes by outstanding Community Development Service. It is also interesting to know that the employment or scholarship can be transfered to anyone within your family if you aren't willing to take it for yourself.
These are just few of the many opportunities that surround us.Sometimes we need to be attentive to realize them. Other tinges we need to dig deep. But always we need to be diligent to make use of it. Diligence always reward its bearers.
