The Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier General Olakunle Nafiu, has urged Corps Members to maximize the opportunities provided by the service year by venturing into commodity marketing and other viable businesses. He stated that agribusiness remains a viable avenue for young people seeking to build sustainable businesses and create wealth. He made the call in Abuja during the presentation of cheques to six Corps Members who emerged winners of the competitive Farmers for the Future Programme, organized by the British American Tobacco Nigeria Foundation (BATNF) in collaboration with the NYSC. The beneficiaries are Dominic Olufemi (N3m), Temitope Adewole (N2m), Abdulwaheed Bala (N2m), Olanike Mayungbe (N1m), Kingsley Udoeyen (N1m), and Lorember Lorsue (N1m).
