The event of yesterday is significant for two reasons. First, it is unprecedented and the first grand scale youth empowerment preceded by intensive training, with an effective mentoring, monitoring and evaluation process. Then the next is the awe around the streets, communities and villages in Anambra occassioned by the fact that most people now wonder how conscientiously a Leader in recent time is sticking to his campaign promise.
Governor Soludo’s single-mindedness in addressing core issues of development is driven by empathy for the people whose trust he has committed not to betray. So, when Soludo said he would create one thousand (1000) youth millionaires annually in the State, he has set the tone with yesterday’s massive empowerment program and the people already know that he is on course to surpassing himself.
Anambra, as the National headquarters of small scale enterprise, is well on its way to the global stage as a leading player in the Micro, Small and Medium scale Enterprise. What the Anambra State Government is doing with the activation a skill based youth enterprise is the prelude to a blast in industrialization that will change the face and fate of the State in the long-term.
This is another promise fulfilled.
