Anambra Gov’s Wife Partners NYSC On Skills Acquisition

The wife of the Anambra
Governor, Mrs Ebelechukwu Obiano,  has  members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), posted to the state, of her intention to partner with them on skills acquisition.
Obiano gave the assurance when the state Director of NYSC, Mrs. Inyang Bassey, paid her a courtesy visit at the Government House, Awka.
According to her, the partnership programme would be under her pet project, the Caring Family Enhancement Initiative (CAFÉ).
She said that the NYSC programme provided a veritable platform for CAFÉ to collaborate with corpers in diverse skills and empowerment initiatives.
“Be rest assured that we will work together in skills acquisition, which my pet project CAFÉ is currently doing, by training women in various skills.
“I believe that not only graduates are meant to acquire skills; now your people will collaborate with us to train others to be useful to themselves and the society.
“I thank God for my husband’s foresight and approach to crime fighting. The improved security in Anambra is attracting investors and ensuring that our children serving here are living freely and secure,” Obiano said.
She said that CAFÉ would collaborate with the NYSC in the area of adult education, on weekend and evening classes for women who could not attend regular classes.
“Whether one is trading or engaged in other petty ventures, you need some knowledge to be able to count your earnings,’’ she said.
Earlier, Ekpe commended Gov. Willie Obiano’s commitment to the annual NYSC programme in Anambra State.
“The governor made it a priority to secure and protect NYSC participants in the state, and we note with satisfaction that almost all of them get accommodated, while those who do not were paid in lieu of accommodation.
“We have come to appreciate you and your husband for the good work you are doing and to propose a partnership with you in your empowerment projects, skills acquisition and community development.
“We teach the corpers and afterwards, they go into the community to teach others,’’ Ekpe said.
