Project Objective One: Improvements in youth run enterprises as a result of change inattitude or perception. The activities under this particular objective were business advisoryservices, internship program provided by the government which helped to mentor youth to havegood attitudes.Project Objective Two: Businesses are run more efficiently and successfully and newbusinesses established: The activities used to actualize this objective include business advisoryservices, counseling and mentoring which are ongoing.Project Objective Three: New generation of business leaders emerged (more creative, lessrisk averse). The entrepreneurship training was design to have some activities on creativity,decision making and risk taking. The youth were exposed to real life situations and world ofbusiness management so as to help mold their minds to be better future business leaders.Project Objective Four: New funds established and youth have the ability to work together.This objective is long term in the sense that majority of the youth were not available to startpulling finds together and if they had contributed personal funds, it could have been easier to usethat as collateral to help them secure loan from Microfinance Bank. We were on this stage beforethe embarked on their internship programs. There is hope that they sustainability plan wouldtackle this concerns.Project Object Five: Awareness are created and more youth involve in entrepreneurshipThis objective was developed as a result of the report from the CNA carried out. Less emphasiswas placed on micro-credit because it‘s not a top- most priority for youth in entrepreneurship. Theyouth mentioned on the needs assessment about poor information dissemination and lack ofentrepreneurship training providers in their communities as the only common reason why youth66
are not involved much in entrepreneurship. This part was achieved sensitizing schools andstudents on the benefits of entrepreneurship, lectures, talk -shows and seminars.4.5.0 Issues of Concern:Availability of youth – The unavailability of youth at some point of the implementationcontributed to a slow pace of the project especially on the area of gathering socio-economicinformation and progresses made so far. Because of this threat which the project cannot manage,it has made the Project Manager to be more creative in designing other strategies in meeting theproject objectives4.5.1 Location of Youth:The project meeting is always convened at the EDC office and this is a centralized location forour meeting. However, the distribution of the youth to different cities in Lagos for theirattachment programme made it very difficult to reach out to them all. The Program Managerrealizes the danger, decided to fund transport and logistics for the youth to be showing up formeetings.4.5.2 Age factor and Youthful Exuberances:Many of the participants are still young and have tendency to continue with academic or socialpursuit instead of taking up entrepreneurship very seriously.There could be tendencies to getdistracted by peers, socials or cultural.67
