According to vanguard newspapers, The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) has officially begun its N50,000 monthly payment scheme for 10,000 youths from the Niger Delta region. This initiative is part of the NDDC’s effort to address unemployment and empower young people in the region.
The N50,000 payments are aimed at providing financial support to youths who are struggling to find employment. The NDDC’s executive director for youth affairs stated that the programme is designed to create a positive impact on the lives of young people, helping them to meet their basic needs while also contributing to the development of the region.
Beneficiaries of the programme will receive the monthly payments directly into their bank accounts. According to the NDDC, the scheme is part of a broader strategy to improve the livelihoods of Niger Delta youths, reduce unemployment, and promote sustainable development in the region.
The programme is expected to have a significant impact on the local economy. With many youths in the Niger Delta facing challenges due to a lack of employment opportunities, this financial assistance will offer a much-needed relief. The NDDC has expressed its commitment to creating more initiatives aimed at tackling youth unemployment in the future.
Community leaders have welcomed the initiative, recognising it as a step in the right direction towards addressing some of the challenges faced by youths in the Niger Delta. However, there are also calls for the NDDC to ensure that the scheme reaches the intended beneficiaries and is not marred by corruption or mismanagement.
As the payments begin, the NDDC hopes that this will not only ease the financial burdens of the recipients but also encourage them to invest in education, skills development, and other activities that will benefit their communities. The programme is seen as a crucial part of the ongoing efforts to build a brighter future for Niger Delta youths.Full Details
