It was a moment of testimonies as youths numbering over two thousand sang songs of joy in preparation to becoming employers of labour.
The youths have just completed their training in the second phase of the “One Youth Two Skills” Entrepreneurship Scheme in the batch A stream 1 and 2 for Master Trainers, Trainees and Umu-Boi in Onitsha South, Onitsha North, Oyi, and Dunukofia Local Government Areas.
The Commissioner for Youths Development, Mr. Patrick Agha-Mba congratulated the participants for completing their training course but revealed that anyone who had been empowered through the scheme in the first phase will be disqualified from benefiting from the second empowerment.
Speaking on the impact of the scheme, Onyekachi Oluka, who learnt Fabrication and Welding, on behalf of others said that they thought the programme was a political scam but are now reaping the huge benefits.
