NNEWI—GOVERNOR Willie Obiano of Anambra State, has said the inauguration of the State Youth Skills and Empowerment Scheme at the Technology Incubation Centre, Nnewi is a fulfillment of his promise to establish three vocational centres, one in each of the three senatorial zones of the state.

 

Trainees at the Nnewi centre in Anambra South Senatorial zone are expected to undergo three weeks training on ICT, soap making, spare-parts fabrication and production of car wash liquid detergents, among other products. Governor Obiano said this was the first batch of the programme which involved five hundred youths selected from the twenty-one local government areas of Anambra State. He said the second batch of trainees would involve youths from all the councils until the two other centres designated for Anambra Central and Anambra North zones came on stream.
