WHY P-YES?
- There exists in Nigeria a large army of youth who have attained the status of economic hopelessness and despondency.
-
These vulnerable youth have become ready resources for the propagation of criminal activities.
-
Successive empowerment programmes seem to have excluded this category of Nigerian youth.
-
P-YES is designed to capture this excluded category of youth who are in urgent need of immediate intervention and rescue.
