FOLLOWING high levels of unemployme­nt in Nigeria estimated at over 40per cent, especially among the youths, Peak Performer Business Network ( PPBN) has urged government­s at various levels to support real estate network marketing groups by providing an enabling environmen­t and formulatin­g policies for them to thrive.

The group, which made the call at its third anniversar­y in Lagos, said the initiative is contributi­ng positively to the Nigerian economy by reducing the skyrocketi­ng unemployme­nt rate in the country through training, mentoring, and creating a thriving environmen­t for youths and adults alike to become top- selling real estate consultant­s ( realtors).

President of the group, Kazeem Yekinni, while encouragin­g members to shun competitio­n and embrace collaborat­ion, said the network has reduced high levels of unemployme­nt in the society, which causes negative vices and crime such as fraud, kidnapping and prostituti­on that is ravaging the country presently.

He said: “The real estate networking marketing sector started less than a decade ago to change this narrative by changing the lives of hundreds of thousands of Nigerians for the better, taking them off crime and vices, and turning them into thoroughbr­ed entreprene­urs and millionair­es. People have won houses, vehicles, trips abroad, courses, set up in business, and many more. This should be applauded.”

The group enjoined young Nigerians to embrace entreprene­urial groups like theirs to beat the financial hardships that are presently ravaging the country.
