Emefiele charges tertiary institutions on entrepreneurial courses

Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Godwin Emefiele, has charged administrators of tertiary institutions to reorientate students from seeking white-collar jobs to being successful entrepreneurs.

He encouraged higher institutions to embrace a paradigm shift from grooming students for paid jobs to imparting entrepreneurship skills in their products to become employers of labour in line with current realities.

Emefiele made the appeal yesterday in Abuja at the official launch of the Tertiary Institutions Entrepreneurship Scheme (TIES) and the inauguration of the body of experts.
