About P-YES

Started in 2019, the Presidential Youth Empowerment Scheme(P-YES) is one of the initiatives of the current president of Nigeria(Muhammadu Buhari). The scheme was originally given birth during the first regime of the president but officially launched in 2020 after successful re-election.

The P-YES is a scheme designed to capture the youths who have been long excluded from various empowerment and employment opportunities in the country. Especially youths who are in urgent need of immediate intervention and rescue from youth restiveness by strengthening and unleashing the potential of youth’s participation in the mainstream economy and raising the value and the profile of youth participation in the national economy by designing support programs suitable to this end.
