Nigeria - Oct 24

Nigeria’s Minister of Education, Malam Ibrahim Shekarau, plans to roll out student agribusiness clubs in secondary schools to promote agriculture and reduce unemployment for the future. Minister Shekarau says that students who can’t gain admission to higher education institutions become a “nuisance” because they don’t have the skills to pursue an alternative. Additionally, the minister said “I appreciate the various aspects of the agribusiness as it will build a sense of enterprise, nation-building and patriotism in children.” This initiative has the potential to make positive gains in the arenas of community and youth development in Nigeria.
