the Youth Investment Fund underscores the commitment of the
Buhari’s administration to building a new Nigeria. ” We
write to congratulate you on the approval by the
President Mohammadu Buhari led Federal Executive
Council for the establishment of the Nigerian Youth
Investment Fund to the tune of 75b for 3 years. This
initiative is a reflection of the commitment
of President Mohammadu Buhari to building a new
Nigeria through a stable and people – focused
government to move the agenda for our country forward,
adding that this gesture is a vital move to next level of a
prosperous, strong and stable Nigeria. “

Youth development and public accountability in Nigeria, Yiaga
Africa will continue to support and partner with
