IYEEP is an experiential entrepreneurial and community service programme introduced by the office of the Special Adviser on Youth Empowerment.
It is to create a youth development solution meant to improve the quality of life of youths across the country.
Adim, who made this known to newsmen in Abuja on Sunday, said the platform would be inaugurated at the Banquet hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja, between May 27 and May 29.
He said at least 22,000 youths across the 36 states of the federation, including the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), would be trained under the IYEEP.
According to him, all the prospective beneficiaries will be put into the mentorship platform to monitor their progress in the programme.
He said that the IYEEP’s mentorship process would go a long way in addressing youth restiveness in the country.
“We have integrated various components of programmes to create a youth development solution.
“For instance, all the people that are going to start up this programme are going to be put into a mentorship platform.
“We’ve partnered different groups in the world. We will be launching the mentorship platform.
“We are going to use the mentorship platform to monitor the process of the development of our youths that are going to benefit from this programme.’’
He said that already, his office and Kaduna State Government had signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on the commencement of the pilot scheme of the IYEEP.
According to him, 601 youths from the state will be trained.
He said himself and the Kaduna State Commissioner for Youth and Sports, Alhaji Bashir Zubairu, signed the MoU on behalf of the two parties.
Adim said that the beneficiaries of the programme in Kaduna State would be trained within three months to enable them start their own businesses. (NAN)
