Unemployment, seen as a hydra-Readed monster in Nigeria is no doubt, one of the causes of insecurity in Nigeria, with its adverse socio-economic implications. Many believe that, providing jobs for the youths will stem the tide and give them a sense of belonging.
In spite of the increasing recognition of entrepreneurship as a source of job creation, empowerment and economic dynamism in Nigeria, there has been no systematic attempt to look at it from a youth angle. The tendency has been either to subsume the young people into the general adult population or to ignore their efforts to forge a livelihood through enterprise activities. This has resulted in the lack of an adequate understanding of the potential benefits of youth entrepreneurship as a means of improving their livelihoods.
TASAP has developed skills such as teamwork, business basics, Marketing assistance, accounting/financial management, presentation skills, Link to market, Start up business plan, business etiquette, Networking activities and Link to strategy partners and helps its students gain professional direction in Entrepreneurship, Photography, ICT, Fashion Design, Film Making and Digital Storytelling, and to plan for the future.
If young people are economically, socially and emotionally empowered, they will live dignified lives, stand up for themselves, they will be independent and confident to tackle life challenges. Let’s build hope in these young people today for a better tomorrow.
