The statement reads, "Today, the National Association of Delta ijaw Students (NADIS) wishes to unveil their one day Entrepreneurship Summit designed to address the pressing issue of the unemployment rate among our students and graduates from higher institutions.

"This has led to increased crime, restiveness, and socially delinquent behavior, ultimately devastating our economy and society at large.

"Entrepreneurship is a powerful tool for economic development, particularly within the context of local communities, providing sustainable pathways towards economic independence, job creation, and social advancement. 

"This upcoming Summit offers workshops and sessions led by experienced entrepreneurs and business leaders, covering vital topics such as business planning, marketing strategies, financial management, and digital literacy for our Delta Ijaw students to acquire practical skills and transform their ideas into viable businesses, notwithstanding providing a platform for students to meet potential mentors, and investors which can lead to partnerships and support systems that are invaluable for navigating the business landscape," the student body added.

Speaking further the student body appealed to stakeholders to make attendance at the programme paramount as well as for sponsors to support the initiative.
