Bank of Industry YES-P List of Successfuly Shortlisted Candidates 2016 (http://www.boi.ng/yes-list/)

The shortlisted names for the FG Youth Entrepreneurship Support Program (YES-P) is out!!! 
The Youth Entrepreneurship Support (YES) programme is an ambitious programme by the Bank of
Industry (BOI) aimed at addressing youth unemployment in Nigeria which is currently over 50%.

 According to a 2013 survey by the Nigerian Institute of Social and Economic Research (NISER), most of the capacity building programmes aimed at addressing youth unemployment, have concentrated more on training without any tie-in to the provision of small business loans, which is a critical success factor to the establishment of small businesses. In addition, they hardly take care of the entire training value chain in terms of Entrepreneurship, Business Management and Technical Skills.

The YES Programme
BOI’s approach to tackling the youth capacity building challenge is to focus on young aspiring entrepreneurs within the age bracket of 18 – 35 years that have viable business ideas by developing a Product Program – Youth Enterprise Support Programme (YES Programme), for empowering them. This crop of Nigerians forms a significant proportion of unemployed youth in the country.
