NECA have decided to offers free online entrepreneurship courses to the general public during this period.
The Nigeria Employers’ Consultative Association, NECA, says it is offering the general public six weeks free entrepreneurship courses, beginning from April.
The NECA Director-General, Timothy Olawale, in a statement on Monday in Lagos, said the programme was in collaboration with an entrepreneurship training and consulting firm, Redwood Consulting Limited.
According to Mr Olawale, the programme, which will end in June, forms part of the organisation’s contributions to economic and capacity development in supporting access to online education for Nigerians currently staying at home over the Coronavirus pandemic.
“Although NECA’s entrepreneurial courses are paid for, we have decided to open them for free to the general public during this period.
“Since most people are at home now and have extra hours, why not help them put the time to good use by providing relevant trainings?
