The office of the Vice President Kashim Shettima is partnering with famous Nigerian singer Innocent Idibia a.k.a Tuface in the area of job creation.
This initiative is coming through the Job Creation and Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) scheme supervised by the Vice President. The deal was formalized on Friday in Abuja, with Tuface and Mr. Tola Adekunle-Johnson, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Job Creation and MSMEs, signing the agreement.
“We thought of how best we can sustain the momentum of creating jobs and promoting all the activities of the MSMES, awards, hubs, and the single-digit loan,” said Adekunle Johnson.
“And in trying to consistently promote this, we looked at areas that are of interest to some of our target audience, and you will agree with me it is the entertainment or creative industry.
“Today we are unveiling who I regard as an icon, a legend in the game, he has been consistent with his craft and a very creative man in the person of Mr. Innocent Idibia (Tuface).
“This partnership with Tuface will help galvanise private sector support for public sector initiatives aimed at creating jobs and supporting businesses,” he said.
Speaking on the development Tuface pledged to raise awareness about MSMEs, particularly among young Nigerians, and expressed his gratitude for the trust placed in him.
“I’m excited about this. It is a very good move in a good direction,” he said.
“Most of our youths today, there are so many things going that they can easily be deviated from following the right positive trajectory of life.
“But with this, people might even underestimates the power and value that this will bring to both the individuals, their communities and the country as a whole.
“So, for me I really commend this initiative, I commend the show of concern and show of support from the government towards young people, small businesses.”
