FG PARTNERS WEMA BANK TO SET UP MSME TECH HUBS IN 7 STATES

*Targets 1 million youths, 500,000 MSMEs with grants, digital training

In line with the administration’s commitment to providing more digital jobs for young Nigerians, the Federal Government through the Office of the Vice President is set to launch a digital hub that will empower 1 million youths across the country with digital and related skills.

The centres to be known as FGN/ALAT Digital and SkillNnovation Hub will open first in Lagos and Borno States with Katsina, Cross River, Anambra, Oyo, and Kano to follow afterwards. They will be run in partnership with a leading financial institution in Nigeria, WEMA Bank.

The arrangement for the initiative was reached after a recent meeting between representatives of the bank and Vice President in Abuja.

The strategic objectives of the programme include: to empower young enterprenuers by providing them with tailored financial products, training and support to enable them build sustainable businesses that will support the growth of Nigeria’s economy.

Other objectives include: supporting tech-savvy youths with keen interest in digital innovations and aspire to drive technological advancements, by providing them with financial solutions, training and access to strategic partnerships; and empowering young employees to become an integral part of the workforce in Nigeria especially those deployed through the NYSC.

FGN/ Digital and SkillNnovation Hub, positioned to serve as a centralized platform to provide cutting-edge digital skills, mentorship and networking opportunities, is targeted at tech-savvy youths and young entrepreneurs in Nigeria.

The focus is on promoting entrepreneurship, skills development and the integration of young employees in the workforce, particularly getting one million youths employed in the digital economy and upskilling SMEs who can directly add value to the country’s economy.

In training, 1 million young adults will be trained in software engineering, product management, business analysis, cloud computing, product design, using a specialized curriculum designed for the FGN/ALAT Digital and SkillNnovation Hub.

In mentorship, 500,000 SMEs across Nigeria will be mentored by experts while coaches will train and upskill them for business growth and quantum leap.

Under the scheme grants will be provided under a collaborative arrangement between the Federal Government and WEMA Bank, setting aside N500 million to be given to SMEs and Techprenuers.

Public Advisory: Beware of Fraudulent Vehicle Auction Schemes, Impersonators- FPRO

The Nigeria Police Force wishes to issue a vital advisory to safeguard the public against the recent surge in deceptive vehicle auction scams and impersonating senior officers to dupe unsuspecting Nigerians. Citizens have reported incidents where individuals, falsely posing as representatives of the police authority, have sought financial contributions under the guise of imminent vehicle auctions and favours, including contracts from the NPF

We wish to emphasize that the NPF adheres strictly to a standardized protocol for conducting legitimate vehicle auctions, contracts, and legitimate deals, in line with the provisions of extant laws. Specifically, let it be clear that the IGP as an individual doesn't approve or sell property, especially cars, on public auctions. Every auction must follow due process as enshrined in the Nigeria Police Act, 2020. It, therefore, is imperative for all residents to exercise caution and refrain from parting with their funds in response to such unauthorized solicitations. We urge everyone to independently verify any information related to police activities, particularly vehicle auctions, through official communication channels.

The NPF verified platforms include the official email address at [email protected], on social media platforms. By remaining vigilant and consulting verified sources, the public can thwart potential scams and protect their financial well-being.
