N8,000 can change the life of a youth who knows what he is doing — says Kashim Shettima
Vice President Kashim Shettima recently made a statement that sparked widespread debate. He claimed that ₦8,000 could significantly impact the life of a young Nigerian if they have the right mindset and skills. This comment was made during an informal discussion on social media, and it quickly drew mixed reactions.
Shettima emphasized that resourcefulness and how one utilizes money are more important than the actual amount. His perspective aligns with the entrepreneurial spirit of many Nigerians who have started businesses with small amounts. However, critics argue that while the sentiment is positive, broader systemic changes are necessary to address the challenges faced by Nigerian youth, particularly in areas like education, market access, and business support
