Nigeria’s large youth population is facing challenges of unemployment and underemployment, and Shettima’s announcement comes as the government explores policies to reduce poverty and promote economic opportunities for young people. The belief that a small amount of money can change lives is consistent with the entrepreneurial spirit that many Nigerians see.
Reactions on social media were mixed. Some users shared success stories of starting businesses with small amounts of money, while others criticized the statement, citing the economic reality that N8,000 may not be enough to cover basic needs.
