NDE Empowers 450 Women, Youths
The National Directorate of Employment (NDE) in Akwa Ibom says it has started the process of empowering 450 women and youths in the state as its contribution toward poverty reduction.
The directorate explained that the beneficiaries were drawn from the three senatorial districts of the state.
The Coordinator of NDE in the state, Mrs Patience Osunkwo, made this known in an interview in Uyo on Sunday.
Osunkwo said that the directorate was collaborating with the Millennium Development Goals office in the state.
“We are training them in marketable trades like welding and fabrication, plumbing, catering, hairdressing, computer operation, and GSM repairs. “Other areas covered by the skills training include outboard engine maintenance, video production, photography and cane chair production,” she said.
She said that the training would last six months, adding that during the period; the trainees would be paid monthly stipend of N5, 000 each.
“The 450 youths and women will be resettled so that they will be self-reliant and even employ others. “We are hopeful that the State Government, corporate organisations and individuals will give assistance to them to further encourage people to embrace self-employment ventures in the state. “
She said that a member of the state House of Assembly had assisted the directorate in the establishment of a skills training centre at Udong Uko Community and commended him for the effort.
Osunkwo, while urging people to emulate the assemblyman, she said that the directorate needed support because the Federal Government could not do it alone.
