1Youth 2Skills : Soludo Continues To Break The Poverty Cycle

MAZI EJIMOFOR OPARA 

One of the fundamental advantages of a Soludo leadership is that he came prepared. This morning, I went back to a video of his 2019 lecture series at “the Platform” in Lagos. At that lecture, he not only made projections, but also provided solutions. This was 2years before he declared to run for governorship of Anambra State.

What struck me is this short clip below is how this man is consciously showing the effective application of his development theory/thesis years after. Today, over 5000 Anambra Youths who have been trained across various life-changing skill sets shall be empowered with 2.5Billion Naira as start-up grant, with access to another 2billion Naira loan from the Bank of Industry at single digit interest rate.

This is the first of its kind in the history of the State, where such enormous investment is made for human capital development. In less than 2years in office, Soludo’s actions have shown him as a man who came to leadership prepared.

Congratulations to Anambra Youths who have not just been taught how to fish, but also given fishes. The ball is now squarely in their courts to either eat the fish or grow it.

Indeed, Solution is Here!
