The wife
of Anambra State governor, Mrs. Ebelechukwu Obiano, has advocated
entrepreneurial training for women and youths to curb unemploy- ment among school
leavers and graduates of tertiary institutions.
Speaking
after commissioning the Bakery and Knitting Centre of Saint John’s Vocational
and Technical, VOTEC, Neni, Anaocha Local Government Area of the state, Mrs.
Obiano explained that such training would equip the beneficiaries to face life
challenges.
According
to her, many educated university graduates were not skilled due to absence of
entrepreneurial programmes in institutions; hence the graduates roamed the
street in search of non-existent or few white collar jobs, saying while “those
with skills provide jobs for themselves make profit and employ others.”
Appreciating
the vision of VOTEC in setting up the institute, she said “it is in
line with the philosophy behind her pet project, Caring Family Enhancement
Initiative, CAFÉ.
