As part of its support for young people in Nigeria and to boost their capacities, the African Development Bank (AfDB) will establish a Youth Entrepreneurship Investment Bank for Nigeria.
AfDB president Akinwunmi Adesina made this known on Friday in Abuja while delivering a keynote address at the 90th Birthday Lecture of former Head of State Yakubu Gowon.
“I am delighted to announce here today that just three days ago, the African Development Bank’s board of directors approved $100m for the establishment of the Youth Entrepreneurship Investment Bank for Nigeria,” he said.
