Enugu State at it as 40,000 Youths Stance Empowerment Opportunity By Gov Mbah

The Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah has assured that his administration would continue to train at least 40,000 youths across the state on relevant digital and entrepreneurial skills that would enable them to compete in the global digital and entrepreneurial markets.

The governor gave this assurance while delivering a keynote address at the Enugu Tech and Entrepreneurship with the theme, “Innovation Unleashed: Transforming Enugu’s Future”.

Mbah is optimistic that with the right training and skills, youths could create their own greener pastures in Nigeria without having to travel overseas.

“We want them to embrace the emerging future of robotics, artificial intelligence, augmented reality, virtual reality, and disruptive innovation through skills in information and technology,” he said on Sunday.

“Our administration would train at least 40,000 youths across the state on relevant digital and entrepreneurial skills that would enable them to compete in the global digital and entrepreneurial markets.”

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of being the keynote speaker at the second edition of the Enugu Tech and Entrepreneurship (TxE) Summit. I was privileged to perform the same role at the inaugural edition in 2022.

According to him, his administration had already commenced the training of youths on digital innovation, programming, digital marketing, financial technology, and entrepreneurship, among other requisite technological, financial, and business skills.

Mbah is optimistic that with the right training and skills, which his government is determined to facilitate by partnering with different tech industries and stakeholders, the youths could create their own greener pastures in Nigeria without having to travel overseas.

“With the right training and skills which my government would facilitate by partnering with different reputable tech industries, our youths can create their own greener pasture in Nigeria without having to travel abroad. And with their own innovation here, they can create greener pastures on the Enugu soil,” the governor said.

The governor says his government would create the right environment for young people to thrive. X@PNMbah
