YEDI NAIJA'S EFFORT TO TACKLE UNEMPLOYMENT IN NIGERIA

Youth unemployment in Nigeria generally and Lagos 
in particular is growing. The National Bureau of 
Statistics estimates that the unemployment rate in
 Nigeria stands at 21%. This rate measures the
 number of people actively looking for a job as 
against the labour force.

Youth Empowerment and Development Initiative
 (YEDI) is working with several partners in various
 sectors to help provide solutions to unemployment
 in the country. Youths represent the strength and
 future of our country but we need to better 
understand the challenges we face and the opportunities we seek. Only then 
will we be able to develop 
sustainable solutions to unemployment.

Please help us generate information that we can use to develop youth-focused interventions and 
job-opportunities. I hope you will give us a few minutes of your time to complete a short online 
survey that you can access through this link:

The findings from the survey will be published on our website: www.yedinaija.org

Thank you in advance for your support!

GRAZRUTSOKA AT NNPC/SHELL ALL NIGERIA SECONDARY SCHOOLS FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP LUNCHEON

About a hundred young football players gathered in a hall, all hoping to be the next Haruna Ilerika or Kanu Nwankwo. Nigeria’s intense love and passion for football remains one of its biggest uniting factors so far, and Grazrutsoka has developed programs that utilise the game to help create a healthier and richer generation.

Following the invitation from Mr Segun Odegbami to come do a demonstration at a Luncheon as part of activities for his Shell sponsored football tournament, the Grazrutsoka team were at the Eagle’s Club in Surulere to deliver a compressed practice to a peculiar audience.

They paid rapt attention as Master Coaches Ade and Patrick delivered the compressed practices using volunteers from amongst the young players.

The players and guests had fun and gained new knowledge as they were taken through two compressed practices (Risk Field and Finding the ball).
