Founder, Africa Canada Trade and Investment Venture, Kenneth Oguzie, has called on Nigeria youths to focus on entrepreneurship, which he sees as the solution to unemployment.
In a virtual gala/award event, he called on the government to do everything within its power to assist youth entrepreneurs face the challenging times.
The Canada-based Nigerian entrepreneur lamented the condition of many Nigerian youths who, because of unemployment, took to menial jobs, including commercial motorcycle business, to make a living. x
He challenged the government to come up with programmes that would help youths to become great entrepreneurs.
“As the chief executive officer of an international business organisation focused on trade, investment, project financing and business facilitation between Canada and Africa, I believe it would go a long way in inculcating in the youth the quality of having a global perspective in business.”

Surely, a pavement is the last place anyone would expect to find these two sofas! Indeed, the rationale behind their juxtaposition in front of a luxuriant pine tree, just outside what looks like a semi-detached building, with a mostly redbrick façade, is hard to figure out. But then, two strikingly similarly-clad figures –sporting black hooded sweatshirts and sweatpants – add their quota to this visual non sequitur. One of them, showing a profile view and striking a conversational pose with two slightly spread-out arms, rests a foot on one of the sofas, which is cream-coloured. The other is simply reclining in a semi-sitting position on the next sofa, which has a greenish colour, and is facing the opposite direction.
