The Senator representing Ebonyi North Senatorial District, Dr Sam Egwu has commenced another phase of establishing Multipurpose Skill Acquisition Centers across the four Local Government Areas of Ebonyi North Senatorial District.
It would be recalled that Senator Egwu has built and equipped five Skills Acquisition Centres in selected Communities of the four Local Government Areas of Abakaliki, Ebonyi, Izzi and Ohaukwu that make up Ebonyi North Senatorial District.
In a ground breaking ceremony at Ngbo Court area, Ngbo in Ohaukwu Local Government Area, Senator Egwu said the gesture is to enable his Constituents especially the youths engage themselves in different vocational Studies so as to become self reliant.
The Senator who was represented by his Senior Legislative Assistant, Mr Morgan Nwankwo, expressed Joy over the magnanimity of Ngbo people in his political journey and lauded the promptness in donating their land for the construction of the Skill Acquisition Center.
“This is part of the Constituency project of Dr Sam Egwu. He has built many projects in Ngbo in the past and he is not relenting. By the time this Skill Acquisition Center starts producing people who will become employers of labour in the nearest future, that is when you will know what Senator Egwu has done for the people of Ohaukwu and Ebonyi State at Large”.
“This project will equally be sited at the three other Local Government Areas of Ebonyi North.”Ndubuisi said.
The President of Ngbo Leaders Council, Dr Okeh C. Okeh represented by, Barrister Micheal Odoh said they were moved to donate the land as part of their contribution to the development of their community and people.
The Secretary of the community youth group, ‘Amalgamated Ngboejeogu Youth,’ Comrade Samuel Okpor, commended the Senator for bridging the innovation and skills gap in the community.
“This Project is going to develop our people to become financially independent and as well create employment among our youths”.
“When you engage youths in this type of meaningful venture, you are indirectly fighting all manner of social vices and crimes because when people are busy, they think less of crime.”
“People who want to learn tailoring, shoe making, plumbing, electrical work and other skills not mentioned here will no longer find it difficult to do so. To the glory of God, Ngbo clan has donated this land for the project”. Okpor added.
The ground breaking ceremony was attended by people from various Communities in Ngbo.
