A firm, Elite Logistics and Development Services Limited has introduced a solar-powered kiosk aimed at addressing the rising unemployment in the country.
Its Group Managing Director, Mr. David Adesanya, while addressing a press conference on Tuesday in Abuja, said with the cost of living and inflation wreaking havoc on individuals, families, and businesses, it becomes evident that relying on a single source of income is no longer tenable.
He pointed out that alarming statistics from reputable organisations such as the National Bureau of Statistics, World Bank, International Monetary Fund, and others only serve to underscore the bleak economic outlook.
Adesanya said: “In the face of soaring unemployment rates and the relentless challenges of an unforgiving economic landscape in West Africa, Nigeria finds itself grappling with the same socio-economic woes, exacerbated by the recent removal of subsidies.”
He explained that after years of rigorous research, the firm has unveiled a groundbreaking solution designed to alleviate poverty and cultivate a new generation of millionaires.
Adesanya maintained that the initiative opens door for countless young Nigerians to tap into a conducive work environment, engaging in various economic value chains.
According to him, It will provide solutions to political office holders, NGOs, philanthropists, humanitarian organisations, federal, state, and local governments, as well as notable personalities across Nigeria and Africa seeking means to revolutionize empowerment.
Adesanya noted that the innovation comes in the form of solar-powered kiosks, which eliminate the hurdles associated with running businesses, offering a smart and convenient workspace for aspiring entrepreneurs across Nigeria.”
He stated: “Even the assembly of these solar panels alone generates employment opportunities capable of breaking the chains of poverty for numerous families. Through comprehensive skill acquisition programs, including carpentry, welding, wiring, solar panel installation, branding, and more, thousands of youths can find their path to success.
“The primary objective is to provide a functional workspace with reliable power supply, especially in a country plagued by erratic electricity.”
The Group Managing Director stressed that the organisation has launched an awareness campaign to reach businesses and entrepreneurs in both rural and urban communities, boosting their operations and enhancing productivity.
