An initiative to empower youths in the Niger-Delta region of Nigeria and secure the nation’s oil infrastructure has been launched by Africa’s Hub for Skills and Enterprise Development (AHSED).
This is contained in a statement on Monday by the founder and co-founder, Mr. Wisdom Aghoghovwia, and Barry Chukwuemeke.
This comes as the AHSED team conducted a campaign in Ogbijo, a major community in Delta State, where pipeline vandalization has had devastating effects on the environment and economy. The team reached out to close to a thousand youths and community members, sensitizing them to the dangers of pipeline vandalization and offering digital skills and entrepreneurship as a pathway to a brighter future.
According to them, the “Secure the Pipeline, Secure the Future, Establish the Future SSE project aimed to equip young people with digital skills and entrepreneurship training, providing them with a viable alternative to pipeline vandalization.
The project, which is a nationwide initiative, will spread across different cities and communities, targeting major oil-driven areas. AHSED plans to provide digital skills training to youths in these communities, empowering them to become self-reliant and contribute positively to the nation’s economy.
“AHSED believes that a skilled youth is an asset to the nation. By equipping young people with viable skills, we can secure the future of tomorrow and prevent the wanton destruction of our nation’s most valuable resources. Project SSE is not just an initiative; it’s a movement to create a better future for Nigeria’s youths and the nation as a whole,” the statement reads.
