The policy itself is a disaster.

The program is good, but government should have to get some policies that restrict civil servant from entering the program. Especially Npower there are a lot of government workers in it. They blocked others from getting in, while they are working at different agencies.

The programme right from inception has been very helpful mostly to young employed graduates find something doing,no matter how small,and it has to be sustained

They should also allow some youths to submit their business proposal, after a thorough review they should finance such good proposals. There should also be M&E of the program so far to assess the benefits, failures and improvement required

Though, the program has its own challenges but certainly it is positively impacting on those who are genuinely working or participating with Sincerity. The govt. should continue to fine tune the implementation of the program with a view to perfecting its. God bless Nigeria.
