An entrepreneurship coach, founder and Executive Director of KIEK Foundation, Barr Ebele Iyiegbu, has advised women in the FCT and Nigeria as a whole to embrace entrepreneurship as the only way to remain productive and reduce the rising unemployment rate in the country.
Iyiegbu spoke over the weekend in Abuja at the maiden edition of the Ahava Coach Women Conference, where she explained that it had become imperative for the 21st Century woman to be empowered with the requisite skills to thrive.
She said, “Women are giving up faster these days due to the nature of the society, as such, there is a need for self-independence, and the only way they can achieve that is to embrace entrepreneurship.
City & Crime reports that Nigeria’s unemployment stands at 33 per cent, according to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).
