Turning passion to profit - Looking beyond white collar job

Image
Nigeria houses about 10 million unemployed youths, for these youths to make an impact in the society and help nurture Nigeria's economy, Is it better to be patient for a firm to come calling or to bring out the entrepreneurial skills in them by 'starting out small ? You don't need a soothsayer to tell you that being self employed is far better. Which company can pay Dangote, not even conglomerates can pay him. As a self employed, you're the master of yourself. You also have the opportunity of being employer of labour.

LASPOSUG: lingering crises, suspension and reinstatement; how long will this last?

The most recent of this suspension spree was the report in the internet space on March 28. 2018 by Ëngist Media “that the  president of the Student Union Government (SUG) Comrade Jubril Adewale Rahman stands suspended till further not...
