Governor Willie Obiano has been commended for initiating the Aviation School Scholarship for qualified female indigenes of the State.
A non-governmental Organization, Youth Association of Anambra South Senatorial District, YAASSD, made the commendation in Abuja
Ekwi Ajide of our Abuja Bureau, reports that the group made up of youths from all the local government areas of Anambra South Senatorial District, described the project as laudable especially as it focuses on youth development.
Speaking through its coordinator, Barrister Peter Ekwueme, the group said youth development is a feature that is often absent in most leaders’ lines of priority in Nigeria today.
According to him, there is no gainsaying that the youths of Nigeria and Africa as whole cannot grow mentally, socially and educationally if the leaders do not create an encouraging environment and platform for human capital development.
The group appealed to the Governor, not to stop at the initiation stage of the scholarship programme, but to also ensure that the process that would produce the beneficiaries is free and fair.
They suggested that, if possible, the state government should put in place, measures that will ensure that the beneficiaries of the programme, will not be stranded in the course of the programme, either by the distraction or by the interruption of an incoming government.
They also appreciated the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, of Air Peace Airline, Barrister Allen Onyema for his patriotic and humane gesture of airlifting and bringing back home Nigerians during the Xenophobic crisis in South Africa, saying that he has inspired a generation of youths into believing in the country again as his selfless act of kindness has shown that not every Nigerian man cares only about himself and his household.
The group also congratulated legislators of Anambra extraction in the ninth Assembly, urging them to always remember, that the mandate is not theirs but that of Ndi Anambra and as such, must observe diligence, fairness, transparency and accountability in the discharge of their duties especially as regards their constituency projects.
