The federal government of Nigeria has released a link for applicants to access the Nigerian Youth Investment Fund (NYIF).
This was made known by the special assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on social media, Lauretta Onochie on Wednesday, October 14.
According to Onochie, prospective applicants are expected to log in to the website – https://nmfb.com.ng/nigeria-youth-investment-fund/.
