Over 60,000 Corp members currently in National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) orientation camps across the country are receiving basic financial training courtesy of the NNPC Foundation. The programme, organised by Kudimata, the financial education platform of Penyo Consult, is aimed at equipping Nigerian youths with requisite financial skills for success in life, either as entrepreneurs or employees.
Having provided over 20,000 Nigerian graduates with basic financial education and entrepreneurial skills over the last few months, Kudimata led by the CEO, Kathleen Erhimu, identified the urgent need to form value-adding alliances to support the NYSC Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurial Development (SAED) programme through financial education, business advisory, and empowerment initiatives.
According to, Managing Director of NNPC Foundation, Mrs. Emmanuella Arukwe, once corps members are equipped with the knowledge and skills to make informed financial decisions, they are better positioned to start the next stage of their life journeys.
She added that NNPC is delighted to provide access to start-up resources and opportunities to ensure that our teeming youths achieve their dreams of self-actualisation.
The Director General of NYSC, Brig. Gen. Y. D Ahmed, recently launched this inaugural session of the Basic Financial Education programme to all youth corps members across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory(FCT).
