The wife of Anambra state Governor Mrs Soludo has congratulated the Acting Director General of National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, Mrs Christy Uba on her recent appointment and said that plans were already underway to build a mega skill acquisition centre in the state, adding that the collaboration with NYSC would facilitate the eventual take-off and development of the centres.
Mrs Soludo stated this when the Acting NYSC DG paid a her a courtesy visit at the Governor’s Lodge, Amawbia. According to the first lady, the training centres, when completed, will train about five thousand youths in different skill areas, enhance their productivity, make them self reliant and employers of labour.
Mrs Christy Uba has sought the involvement of Anambra State Government in the training of corps members in different skill areas.
According to Mrs Uba, citing a skill acquisition centre in the Anambra State will further boost the business climate and skills of the youth population in the South East region and the country at large.
Mrs Uba, who is from Anambra State, said she felt the imperative of taking the project home, as her own contribution to the human capital development of the state, adding that Governor Chukwuma Soludo, through his support to this scheme, is lending a voice to the universal policy for youth development, beginning with Anambra State.
The Anambra State NYSC Coordinator, Mrs Blessing Iruma and the Chief of Staff to the Governor of Anambra State, Mr Ernest Ezeajughi were also at the function.
