The Hon. Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun, has insisted that the President
Muhammadu Buhari administration, has no plans to scrap the Youth With
Innovation Entrepreneurship program (Youwin).
Adeosun stated this during her first Facebook live session, filmed at the headquarters of the Ministry of Finance.
The Minister explained that the program was being reviewed, to meet the
economic agenda of the current
administration(http://dailypost.ng/2017/04/05/buhari-launches-economic-recovery-growth-plan/).
“The Buhari administration has no plans to scrap it (YouWin).The
Federal Government has reviewed the scheme and repositioned it as
YouWiN!Connect, which focuses on continuous enterprise education and
skills building.
“As part of the restructuring, YouWiN!Connect now publishes weekly
editorials in four national newspapers. The principles of YouWiN!Connect
would be incorporated into university curricula across Nigeria,”
Adeosun stated.
She added that the government was putting in place measures to diversify the economy and stop the reliance in fuel.
“The good news is that we are working through the issues one by one,
and trying to ensure that as we rebuild the economy, we get away from
the boom and bust cycle of the past — we want to build an economy where,
whether oil price is high or low, there’s sustainable growth for
Nigeria and for Nigerians,” Adeosun added.
