NO fewer than 5000 youths from the 21 local government areas of Anambra State have been empowered with N2 billion start-up capital released by Governor Chukwuma Soludo after the training of the ‘one youth, two skills’ programme initiated by the state government.
The member representing Dunukofia Constituency in the Anambra State House of Assembly, Hon. Chuks Azotani, who is the chairman of the committee on Information Technology and Creative Economy, urged the beneficiaries to efficiently invest the start-up capital in the trained skills and businesses to achieve the objectives of the scheme.
Azotani said: “The positive effects of this programme of 1 youth, 2 skills initiated by the Soludo administration being facilitated by the State Ministry of Youth Development, will foster robust economic impacts in the areas of Information, Communication and Technology. The lawmaker was particularly happy that about 100 beneficiaries of the first batch of the programme came from Dunukofia local government area, assuring youths from the area that more good things would come to them.
