As part of its efforts to alleviate the harsh economic crunch on youths, leading technology conglomerate, the Zinox Group, recently offered employment to a batch of unemployed Nigerian graduates who successfully completed its internship programme.
The successful graduates were among the second batch of participants who completed a 30-day intensive Mini-MBA training programme organised by the Zinox Institute of Technology (ZIT).
Participants were exposed to world-class trainings, job-suitability scenarios, and capacity building workshops across a variety of management functions, including Accounts, Procurement, Core Engineering, Software Development, Business Development, Etiquette and Grooming, and HR/Admin, among others. The sessions were facilitated by a faculty of over 20 highly regarded resource persons, with the Zinox Group Chairman, Leo Stan Ekeh, taking time out of his busy schedule to mentor the participants.
The initiative, which the management of Zinox revealed is part of its contributions to giving hope to many Nigerians amid the ongoing difficulties in the local and global economies, received over 5,000 applications from qualified graduates across the country.
ally, the recruitment will continue in batches, with successful candidates from the scheme being immediately absorbed into any of the Zinox Group’s various entities.

While urging the successful candidates not to betray the trust placed in them, Ekeh also urged them not to lose faith in Nigeria.
He warned them to avoid negative sentiments or news reports about the country’s future, noting that the Nigerian economy has been through tough times in the past, while also expressing optimism that it will emerge stronger from its current challenges.
“Those of you chosen have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to rewrite your own and the lives of those around you. I purposefully revealed the source of our minor successes to you. So, I encourage you to work hard, avoid vices, and repay the trust placed in you. For the ladies, this is possibly the only group of companies in the world with five CEOs who are globally certified women. So you should work with pride because you earned it.” Also, despite the current economic challenges, we have only scratched the surface of the enormous potential that exists in the Nigerian economy. I urge you to disregard any negative projections about Nigeria.
“In the twenty-first century, many people talk, but you have to be selectively deaf to succeed. Regardless of the current difficulties, maintain faith and belief in the future of a more prosperous Nigeria. I am confident that it will improve soon. “On our part, we will continue to do our best to provide opportunities for deserving beneficiaries to reach their full potential,” he concluded.
