Governor Chukwuma Soludo is poised to make Anambra the leading skill hub destination centre, with a target of raising youth millionaires through the “One Youth, Two Skills” entrepreneurship programme.
The Commissioner for Youth Development, Mr. Patrick Aghamba, stated this while addressing beneficiaries of the mentorship training for heads of cooperatives in Onitsha.
Commissioner Aghamba, who spoke on the essence of effective mentorship in consolidating solutions targeted at empowering beneficiaries with expertise that will strengthen their business ventures, appreciated relevant partners for their sustainable collaboration.
Explaining mentorship as a vital component of the skill programme, the facilitator, Dr. Rita Melifonwu, who commended the commitment of the Commissioner to achieving the mandate, noted that the training programme is fundamental in providing ideas, expertise, and guidance to expand businesses, and identified the new federal government tax law as part of its focus.
A cross-section of beneficiaries who commended the initiative of Governor Soludo in empowering youths with marketable skills to reduce unemployment, acknowledged that the programme has recorded significant success in business start-ups in the state.
