President Bola Tinubu is trying to faucet the African diaspora for Nigeria’s youth job creation agenda that goals to create a million jobs over the following 4 years.

Nigeria opened this 12 months’s African Diaspora Funding Symposium with a bang by unveiling its new on-line charitable giving platform, i-philanthropy, that invitations Nigerians from everywhere in the world to take a stake of their nation’s economic system.

Launched on 20 March in San Jose within the coronary heart of Silicon Valley, the initiative is a part of President Bola Tinubu’s world push to lift $200m in start-up funding to create a million jobs for younger folks over the following 4 years. The trouble is led by the Nigeria Philanthropy Workplace (NPO), a brand new private-led coordinating committee established in January within the workplace of Vice President Kashim Shettima.
