As an advocacy, implementation alone is not even enough, we need proper implementation by following and monitoring projects to make sure their objectives are achieved. Ensuring the beneficiaries are true and not influenced or based on unequal opportunity.

The
Federal Government of Nigeria is set to create about 1 million jobs
through an online initiative, the Integrated Youth Development
Initiative. The Initiative which has been designed to address the
nation’s high unemployment rate in a practical way aims at monitoring
youth development in the country closely.
Special Adviser to the President on Job Creation, Mr. Obi Adim said:
“We are looking at creating about one million jobs a year. We have various sectors we are looking at such as Information and Communication Technology, entrepreneurship, and skills acquisition.”
According to the National Bureau of Statistics, Nigeria currently has an unemployment rate of 23.9 per cent. In a recent media chat, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Job Creation, Josephine Washima, said that the initiative has received a lot of buy-in from stakeholders and that more details about the initiative would be announced before the end of July.
Washima noted that the initiative is quite different from the Nigerian Government’s Youth Enteprise with Innovation Programme, (YouWIN).
“The YouWin programme is a business competition, which is online-based and this is totally different from the Integrated Youth Empowerment Initiative. Our initiative is not a competition but it will empower the youth at the end of the day if properly implemented,” she said.
She emphasized that through the initiative, Nigerian youth will be equipped with the required skills that will help transform their lives.

Remarks:
Nothing beats s lying system. A system that makes inconsistency its very watchword. Else, how does one fathom this myriage of a claim. This situation looks surreal as their no probable blueprints laid down towards the actualization or otherwise of such proposition.
In other words, I am optimistic though, at least until proven otherwise. Nigeria government is used to talking without acting, promises without
fulfilling them, and ideas without transforming them into benefits. Funny thing is, the people are used to eat. Hence, we never take them seriously whenever odious proclamations of this kind is made.
As an advocacy, implementation alone is not even enough, we need proper implementation by following and monitoring projects to make sure their objectives are achieved. Ensuring the beneficiaries are true and not influenced or based on unequal opportunity.
