The Minister of Youths development, Comrade Ayodele Olawande has said that there was the need to train the Nigerians youths on lucrative and authentic kind of investments they can embark on to create wealth.
Speaking yesterday in Abuja during the launch of the Investonaire Learning Management System (LMS), organised in collaboration with the Investonaire Academy of Future Millionaires, said there are different investment platforms but it is important that they are mentored and trained in the right one to invest in so as not to lose their funds.
He stated that youths should also be trained on how to maintain the wealth they make from the investment they get involved in.
He urged corps members and other youths to engage actively with the introduced initiatives for self-empowerment.
He said the youths have the responsibility to leverage available platforms, acquire financial discipline, and change not only their own stories but also those of their families and communities.
Olawande emphasised that the goal of creating such platforms for the youths was to reduce dependence on government jobs and foster a generation that is entrepreneurial, innovative, and capable of creating employment opportunities for others.
According to Olawande, the introduction of the new program was aimed at giving millions of Nigerian youth a crucial turning point as well as equipping them with financial literacy as a survival skill.
On his part, Chief Operating Officer, Invetionaire Academy, Mr Sebastian Sicre noted that the platform was gamified to teach people finance across the country.
