The Deputy Chief Whip emphasized that skill acquisition programs should not be limited to the uneducated but should be open to all individuals, regardless of their educational background. She expressed her commitment to organize training sessions for the youth of Enugu South Rural Constituency, aimed at equipping them with skills such as baking, sewing, decoration, ICT, paint making, and shoe making.
Hon. Princess Ugwu explained that the primary objective of these training programs, organized by her foundation, Hon. Princess Obiajulu Ugwu Outreach, is to ensure that her constituents have the means to achieve financial empowerment. These efforts are aligned with the promises she made during her campaign.
She further argued that empowering the youth through skill acquisition would help mitigate the security challenges faced by some areas within Enugu South Rural Constituency, as providing opportunities for productive engagement reduces the likelihood of criminal activities.
The Executive Director of Heroine Women Foundation (HEWOF), Amb. Onyinye Mamah, also participated in the radio program and lauded Hon. Princess Ugwu's commitment to the welfare of the youth in Enugu South Rural Constituency. As a member of Hon. Princess Ugwu Strategic Think Tank, Mamah commended the planned skill acquisition training scheduled for the upcoming Saturday, emphasizing that it aligns with the United Nations' resolution to prioritize the needs and aspirations of young people.
Mamah encouraged the beneficiaries of the training program to make the most of the knowledge and skills they acquire, empowering them to become self-reliant and contribute positively to the socioeconomic development of the constituency.
Hon. Princess Obiajulu Ugwu's steadfast commitment to poverty alleviation and youth empowerment through skill acquisition serves as a beacon of hope for the constituents of Enugu South Rural Constituency. With her foundation's initiatives and collaborations with organizations like HEWOF, there is a renewed sense of optimism that the youth in the constituency will be equipped with the necessary tools to build a brighter future.
