ANAMBRA 1YOUTH 2SKILLS: EXPECTATION MEETS OUTCOME

 ANAMBRA 1YOUTH 2SKILLS: EXPECTATION MEETS OUTCOME 

-- Mazi Ejimofor Opara.


The event of yesterday is significant for two reasons. First, it is unprecedented and the first grand scale youth empowerment preceded by intensive training, with an effective mentoring, monitoring and evaluation process.  Then the next is the awe around the streets, communities and villages in Anambra occasioned by the fact that most people now wonder how conscientiously a Leader in recent time is sticking to his campaign promise.

Governor Soludo's single-mindedness in addressing core issues of development is driven by empathy for the people whose trust he has committed not to betray. So, when Soludo said he would create one thousand (1000) youth millionaires annually in the State, he has set the tone with yesterday's massive empowerment program and the people already know that he is on course to surpassing himself. 


Anambra as the National headquarters of small scale enterprise is well on its way to the global stage as a leading player in the Micro, Small and Medium scale Enterprise. What the Anambra State Government is doing with the activation a skill based youth enterprise is the prelude to a blast in industrialization that will change the face and fate of the State in the long-term. 


This is another promise fulfilled.

 Lilian Orogbu: "A beauty pageant or a federal lawmaker?" By Izuchukwu Adichie Apart from the fact that Lilian Orogbo diverted N200 million federal government palliatives meant for the people of Awka North and South constituency, she has a trait of a "beauty pageant and ineffective lawmaking". So when the announcement was made that she won the election for a federal house, and I saw her photos, I asked myself if it wasn’t such a calamity for a beauty pageant to transition into politics and even to represent Awka. Such a calamity!! Compared with other female federal lawmakers from Anambra both in the past and present, Orogbo, the beauty - pageant lawmaker in her eight months has not been able to meet the legislative expectations of her constituent, has not attracted a single project or intervention, and has clearly shown she talk without some level of thought or cognition. However, how can a lawmaker who should partner with her state Governor in promoting law and ord
