The federal government says the Nigeria Youth Investment Fund (NYIF) has been restructured with a capital base of N110 billion to support youth-led businesses.
The minister of youth, Jamila Ibrahim, stated this in Akure on Tuesday during a town hall meeting for South-West youths.
Ms Ibrahim said since the relaunch of the NYIF, it had received over 200,000 applications in less than two weeks.
