A new dawn awaits Nigerian Youth as well as athletes as the Ministry of Youth and Sports Development has concluded plans to create a data base that will serve as reservoir from which opportunities can be accessed.

The idea is geared towards ensuring that proper records are kept to enable that youth derive maximum opportunities.

Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Sunday Dare said the data base would soon be created for the Nigerian Youth to address unemployment, age cheats and to counter falsehood.

Speaking during the 6th edition of the Town Hall Meeting on Friday, the Minister reiterated that there were so many opportunities for jobs, empowerment and training for the benefits of the youth.

Dare explained that youth should avail themselves of the stream of opportunities and how to get trained.

Dare said, “For NYIF, it is important to note that the Fund is for youth between ages 18 and 35, thus if you are older than 35 years you will have difficulties in completing the application process. From time to time there are minor difficulties in the platform, so we have decided to use better platform which the Federal Government used to recruit people for previous programs. This platform makes adjustments, has flexible features and complaints can be easily taken care of. If the application is successful , the youth would undergo another process of being trained by Entrepreneur Development Institute (EDI) who are certified trainers”
