Over 1,375 beneficiaries of the second phase of the Anambra State Government’s 1 Youth 2 Skills Plus initiative in Awka South Local Government Area have received cheques of their startup grants disbursed under the programme.
Governor Chukwuma Soludo had announced the approval of a N3.5 billion start up grant for the over 8,300 beneficiaries of the programme during their graduation last month.
The disbursement of the cheques was coordinated by the Special Assistant to Governor Chukwuma Soludo on Youth Development, Mr. Emeka Omata.
The 1 Youth 2 Skills Plus Solution Initiative focuses on building capacities in agriculture, ICT, fashion, crafts, catering and other vocational sectors to promote self-reliance and innovation among young people.
It also provides access to additional financial support through the Anambra Small Business Agency for beneficiaries interested in expanding their ventures in clusters.
Among the beneficiaries were Chimaoge Enekwechi from Nise, Antonia Onyemobi from Imo State, and Chisom Onyekwuba, who have utilized the programme to establish businesses and create employment opportunities for others.
The 1 Youth 2 Skills Plus scheme continues to empower youths across the state towards productive and sustainable livelihoods in line with the Soludo administration’s human capital development agenda.
