"I am against youths depending on white collar jobs" says youth leader

A youth leader in Peyi Community, Bwari, FCT, Mr
Peter Galadima, has called for the introduction of
entrepreneurial skills into the nation’s academic
curriculum.

Galadima told the newsmen  in Bwari on
Saturday that lack of entrepreneurial skill has been
identified as a major contributor to unemployment among
the youth.

He described entrepreneurial skills as the necessary skills
needed by an entrepreneur to successfully run a business.
Galadima said publicly the attitude of young people who wait for
white collar jobs after graduation and complain of
unemployment instead of thinking of the way forward.

He, therefore, advised government to restructure the
education sector to create room for entrepreneurial skills
and self-employment.

“I am totally against people depending on white collar jobs
and that is why I feel very strongly that our education
sector needs to be restructured to accommodate
entrepreneurial education.

“This is needful to prepare youths for the future and to be
self employed or employer of labour instead of waiting for
white collar jobs, because there are none,” he said.
Galadima highlighted the advantages of entrepreneurial
training, saying it was geared towards instilling value
orientation in the youth toward contributing to nation’s
building.
