The Central Bank of Nigeria has expressed willingness to provide opportunities of self-employment for corps members through its skill acquisition training.
The CBN Governor, Dr Godwin Emefiele, who stated this in Abuja while receiving the NYSC Director-General, Brig. Gen. Shuaibu Ibrahim, in his office, says the bank will offer loans to Corps members to start small and medium scale enterprises which they will repay in 7 years.
He noted that the loan was conceived out of the need to reduce unemployment rate in the country.
