The West African sub-region continues to grapple with a concerning unemployment rate, as job losses mount due to challenging business environments. Nigeria, being a member of the global community, is not exempt from these socio-economic concerns, which have been exacerbated by the recent removal of subsidies by the government.
In this era where one source of income is insufficient, the cost of living has skyrocketed, and inflation is taking a toll on individuals, families, and businesses alike. However, amidst these challenges, there are visionary thinkers who have managed to thrive in the deteriorating economy. They are undertaking capital projects, investing in real estate, living in lavish homes, and vacationing in exotic destinations across the globe. This is the level of economic liberation and financial independence that many aspire to attain.
Various organizations, including Nigeria’s National Bureau of Statistics, the World Bank, and the International Monetary Fund, have released alarming figures pointing to a bleak economic future. Overcoming these projections and achieving economic freedom requires creative and forward-thinking minds.
Addressing this need, Elite Logistics and Development Services Limited, a leading solar renewable energy and power company in Africa, has conducted extensive research to develop a solution aimed at reducing poverty and creating a new generation of millionaires in Nigeria. This solution comes in the form of a smart, solar-powered kiosk that eliminates the obstacles associated with running a business.
Numerous young people in Nigeria can leverage the conducive work environment provided by this innovation to engage in various economic activities. Even the process of assembling these solar panels alone can provide employment opportunities that can break the shackles of poverty for many families. Through skills acquisition training in areas such as carpentry, welding, wiring, solar panel installation, and branding, thousands of youths can find their niche in life.
The goal is to offer a viable working environment with a reliable power supply, particularly in a country plagued by unreliable electricity. David Adesanya GMD/CEO noted that Elite has launched an awareness campaign to reach businesses and entrepreneurs in both rural and urban communities, boosting their operations and enhancing productivity.
According to the David , the Elite Smart Kiosk is a reliable, aesthetically designed solution with low maintenance costs. It provides employment opportunities and empowerment for young Nigerians. It caters to diverse needs, such as POS banking services, mobile healthcare dispensaries, exhibition stands, unisex salons, convenience stores, display retail outlets, ICT booths, security centers, multimedia centers, and more.
The Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led administration, known for its commitment to supporting Nigerians, can utilize this proven innovation to make a significant impact. By ensuring that forward-looking young Nigerians have access to this product, the Ministry of Labour and Employment, along with other relevant government agencies, can mitigate the hardships caused by the fuel subsidy removal. This would be a win-win situation for all parties involved.
