…Launches Skill Acquisition Programme For Them
Anambra State Governor, Professor Charles Soludo has launched the second batch of the “One Youth, Two Skills” Solution in the state.
Governor Soludo launched the initiative at the International Convention Centre, Awka.
Speaking at the event which witnessed about 8,620 participants that qualified for the second batch of the programme, Governor Soludo described the youth as the bridge to the future, saying that is why his administration prioritizes human capital development.
“Today, we are beginning the phase two of that big journey to ensure that our youths are empowered on a sustainable basis, to teach them how to fish and eliminate hunger.
“Phase one of the programme had 5,000 youths, trained on a peculiar way of igba boi, mentorship, among others.
“Most of them have been empowered, and several of them now employers of labour.
“In this second batch, 183,000 applications were received, and over 8000 people were selected because of available limited spaces.
“As we launch this particular phase, Ndị Anambra youths, I thank you for being responsible citizens. Thank you for deciding not to protest, not because you don’t feel the pain of the moment but because of our age long value system.
“Ndị Anambra celebrate nothing but hard work. I thank our youths for deciding to take their destinies in their hands.
“It is good to protest, but even better to do something. For decades, we’ve been singing songs of lamentations, but now, we are doing something to ensure that our youths are useful to society, “he said.
The Governor explained that the goal of his government was to transform Anambra to become the largest skill hub to give the youths employable and exportable skills.
