Training: ASABA—AS part of his efforts to meaningfully
engage the unemployed, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of
Delta State has flagged off the 2016 Skill Training and
Entrepreneurship Programme, STEP, Youth Agricultural
Entrepreneurs Programme, YAGEP, and Graduate
Employment Enhancement Programme, GEEP for the
training of youths in their areas of interests.
Speaking during the ceremony at Songhai-Delta, Okowa,
said that entrepreneurship was the way out of the
unemployment challenges facing the country, lamenting
that getting jobs in government organisations was
becoming very difficult based on the high number of
graduates chasing the few opportunities available.
“The way out is for people to acquire skills, empowered
to be self sufficient and become employers of labour.
We are training you to become job creators that we need
in Delta State. You are here to improve on your lives and
be in a position to be employers of labour.
“I believe that you are going to step into a greater future.
I want to see you as better Deltans, Deltans who will
say, I have been able to create jobs for my self and jobs
for others.
“I have visited some farms and I have seen the
enthusiasm from those who graduated from these
programmes. If you want to succeed, you must be
passionate about what you are doing,” he said, assuring
Deltans that the programmes would be continuous.
