The Nigerian Government said plans are underway to restructure the National Youth Service Scheme (NYSC) to include a diaspora support scheme.
This was disclosed by Finance Minister Dr Zainab Ahmed on Wednesday while speaking at the Ministerial Presentation of the 2023 Budget.
She noted that this is part of the government’s ongoing efforts to create jobs and facilitate inbound capital flow into the country.
Speaking further, the minister disclosed that in line with efforts to boost job creation and economic growth, the Federal Government is also looking at further reforms that will boost the ease of doing business in the country.
According to her, doing this will be beneficial to SMEs and startups, especially those in the fintech, entertainment and arts sectors.
“We are also looking at restructuring the NYSC to support the diaspora scheme, which is being considered to create jobs and facilitate inbound capital and investments into the economy,” she said.
