ABUJA, Nigeria (NPA) — In continuation of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives on financial literacy, the NNPC Foundation Ltd./Gte has conducted its second 2026 National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) skills empowerment training for Batch A, Stream 2 corps members at the FCT NYSC Orientation Camp, Kubwa, Abuja, over the weekend.

Delivered in partnership with the NYSC Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED) scheme, the programme covers financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and business development. The training structure includes a financial literacy test, a “Kick Start My Business” course, and business proposal pitching.

Managing Director of NNPC Foundation, Emmanuella Arukwe, represented by Head of Programme Management, Rose Okonkwo, noted that over one million corps members have been trained nationwide through the initiative.

Acting Director of SAED, Usman Yahaya, commended the NNPC Foundation for its consistent support, urging corps members to acquire multiple skills during their service year to position themselves as job creators rather than job seekers.

It will be recalled that last year, 531 youths received starter packs and financial support to launch their businesses, with most beneficiaries recording measurable progress across their enterprises.

Through the financial literacy programme, the NNPC Foundation Ltd./Gte has sustained its commitment to preparing young Nigerians for sustainable careers and self‑reliance, contributing to national economic growth and development.
