The incumbent Miss World Nigeria, Tamunosoye Karibi-George, Thursday, appealed for support from the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) for her pet project targeted towards entrepreneurship for young Nigerians.
The 2026 pageant winner stated that her pet project – empowering the youth through skill acquisition, currently has a skill centre in Port Harcourt, Rivers state, where she trains young men and women in fashion design.
She made the appeal during her courtesy visit to the NYSC Director General, Brig.- Gen Olakunle Nafiu, at the National Directorate headquarters in Abuja.
The beauty queen who is an ex-corps member also requested approval for her team to pay visits to NYSC orientation camps across Nigeria, in order to motivate corps members to embrace skill acquisition.
Miss Karibi-George used the forum to invite the chief executive, NYSC staff and corps members to her national send-forth slated for 5th August, 2026 at the Transcorp Hilton, Abuja.
“We have been training youth at the centre and giving them start-up kits at the end of their training. We don’t give them money so as to avoid the temptation of diverting it into another use other than the business we train them for,” she stated.
The NYSC DG, Brig.- Gen Olakunle Nafiu, commended the reigning Miss World Nigeria for her efforts in promoting entrepreneurship among the youth.
