relevant starter packs to commence
small scale businesses.
Ngige added that NDE in the last one
month has recruited about 1,850
persons nationwide under the
Community Based Training Scheme
(CBTS), who would be later resettled to
commence small scale businesses in the
rural communities across the country.

agricultural entrepreneurs under the
NDE Commercial Farmers Training
Project (CFTP) have received soft loans
amounting to N37 million to start agro
businesses in all the 36 states and FCT.
“In our efforts to provide stop-gap-job
opportunities, NDE under the Graduate

about 518 unemployed graduates with
qualifications in education who are
currently serving as coaches/instructors
in designed centres throughout the
federation”, he noted.
