He urged them to avail themselves of the scheme’s Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED) programme.
Mr Shuaibu urged them not to look for white-collar jobs but to equip themselves with entrepreneurial skills.
“Let me use this opportunity to caution you against indulgence in cultism, drug abuse and other social vices,” he said.
