Rep Trains 250 Constituents On Skills
No fewer than 250 constituents of Obio/Akpor Federal Constituency have benefited from a skills acquisition and training programme organised by House of Representatives member, Hon. Kingsley Chinda.
Though the scheme started in Ward 5, Chinda said it will spread across the entire constituency.
Most of the 250 persons both indigenes and non-indigenes of Elelenwo town ( Ward 5), were trained in various skills ranging from tailoring/design Ankara making, hat making, hair dressing and wig making/allied products and cosmetology interior and exterior decoration, hair barbing, catering services, Make up Artistry, handset repairs, bead making and leather foot wears.
Speaking at the occasion, Hon. Chinda applauded the students for devoting their time to learn. “You have the zeal to learn, not only you, but all our youths both those in diaspora are serious and hardworking people. What the zeal I have seen in this programme connotes is that Nigerian youths are not lazy at all but rather they lack the opportunities and right environment.
He further urged the students to utilize the opportunity judiciously and also take steps to teach others so that those around them will benefit from their knowledge.
“When something good is to take place, that is when you begin to face more challenges. Don’t be discouraged, continue through tough times because tough times don’t last but tough peope do. Continue to pray to God, continue to dream and to work towards your dreams, be consistent and persistent in everything you do in life and you will sure get success,” he added.
He commended the organizers, Switz Creations, for their time and effort put in and said that the exercise will continue in the remaining 16 wards of Obio/Akpo. He asked the organizers to add something new in the next training in other wards.
