FG Launches EIBIC Programme to Turn Nigerian Students Into Job Creators.


The Federal Government has launched the Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Business Incubation Certification (EIBIC) Programme, a transformative initiative designed to equip Nigerian students with entrepreneurial skills and the capacity to build sustainable enterprises before graduation.
Speaking at the launch, the Honourable Minister of Education, Maruf Tunji Alausa, described the programme as a major step toward repositioning Nigeria’s education system for innovation, enterprise and economic productivity. He noted that the initiative shifts learning toward practical, innovation-driven approaches that prepare students to become job creators.
The Minister explained that the programme embeds entrepreneurship across all disciplines, enabling students to transform academic knowledge into viable ventures. He added that it aligns with the Renewed Hope Agenda of Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Nigeria Education Sector Renewal Initiative.
The Honourable Minister of State for Education, Suwaiba Said Ahmad, emphasised the importance of practical skill acquisition to enhance employability and self-reliance.
Stakeholders from academia and industry highlighted the programme’s potential to drive innovation, strengthen enterprise development and reduce youth unemployment.
Currently implemented in selected universities, the programme will be expanded nationwide, providing mentorship, incubation support and opportunities for students to build scalable enterprises.
The Federal Ministry of Education reaffirmed its commitment to equipping students with industry-ready skills to drive national economic growth.
