We have hit another big milestone under our FME TVET Initiative.
We have begun the first round of direct payments to trainees and training centres across the country.
Over 42,000 fully registered students have now received their monthly ₦22,500 stipend for upkeep and transportation.
More than 600 independent training centres have also been paid for the skills training they provide, ensuring quality and continuity.
This is just the first tranche — with more to follow — and it reflects President
@officialABAT, GCFR’s commitment to investing in young Nigerians through practical, job-creating skills.
As I’ve said, the rapid rollout of these payments is a direct execution of Mr President’s directive: equip our youth with the skills needed to drive jobs, entrepreneurship, and economic growth.
Since May, the initiative has moved quickly from registration to hands-on training, and these timely disbursements will keep that momentum strong.
TVET is Renewed Hope in action — empowering our young people to build their future. And this is just the beginning.
