The Anambra State government has trained some 200 youth from
the 21 Local Government Areas of the state on skills acquisition, reports ITRealms.
The programme, ITRealms
gathered was put together by the Anambra State Government through the Ministry
of Youth, Entrepreneurship and Sports Development.
The Commissioner, Youth, Entrepreneurship and Sport
Development, Barr. Mrs Uju Nwogu, said in Awka that the training is in line
with the efforts of Gov. Willie Obiano to empower the youths.
Also she said, that the training is designed to make the
youths self-reliant and self-confident by equipping them with contemporary
skills to combat unemployment.
“You may recall that last year at the Youth Centre in
Mgbakwu, 200 youths of Anambra State were trained in various self-sustaining
skills. “Now less than a year, another batch of 200 will commence the training.
“This is a demonstration of our believe that developing
entrepreneurial mind-set in the youths is panacea to economic growth. We are
sure that the enormous resources being committed for the success of this
programme will be justified.
“Thank God for the governor who has made this possible because
he believes in the youth as the future of our state,” she said.
The two-week training is conducted at the Federal Youth
Development Centre, Mgbakwu, Awka North Local Government Area.
