Nigerian Fresh Graduate Launches NGO To Train Unemployed Youths: (Photos)

A fresh Nigerian university graduate, Mr. Henry Nwogu has launched a Non-governmental charity Organization called iDENSAS NIGERIA, in Lagos, Nigeria. 

The event took place on Sunday 13th of November, 2016, at the multipurpose hall of Seventh-Day Adventist church, Maryland, Lagos. 

 According to Nwogu, the organization  (iDENSAS) was set up and targeted towards helping indigent students of higher institutions pay their school fees, and also to help train the underprivileged and unemployed youths in different trades and skills. 

The Computer Science graduate, who completed his first degree programme in Adeleke University, in 2016, said "This dream started way back when we were in the university, as we struggled through school to pay our fees, it was a tough one. But I thank God today because we made it through and the dream of helping other people and raising their hopes came to pass today".

       

One of guest speakers at the launching event, Pastor Seun Grillo advised the Nigerian youths on the need to embrace self-employment, he said "There are good jobs but there is a lack of people with skills. If you have the skills, it is the jobs that will pursue you". 

The second speaker, and lecturer at Babcock University, Ilishan, Dr. Nwaokocha Chibueze also hinted on the best ways to getting out of the current economy recession in the country, he advised during what was an interactive discussion, that people should "cut down expenses, discourage the idea of quick money, and be more creative".

He said further, "Entrepreneurship and skills acquisition should be merged together to ensure more efficiency and more profits. There should also be a connect, don't be selfish, help others who need to get opportunities for work or business. Don't do it (business) all alone". He concluded.
