Anioma Professionals partners Delta govt on youth employment

By Victor Ahiuma-Young
Association of Anioma Professionals, AAP, has said that it was compiling a data base of unemployed youths in the state, with the aim of partnering the government in combating unemployment and youth restiveness in the state.
The group, during a familiarization and sensitization tour of the local government areas in the nine councils of Anioma ethnic nationalities, said that unemployment was the major problem of the youths in the area.
Led by its President General, Dr. Clement Nwadozie, AAP said that it was committed to moral re -orientation of the youths, engagement in skill acquisition, financial assistance, organisation of workshops and seminars on regular basis as well as hosting of sports festivals, among other socio-economic activities for the youths.
To achieve this, Nwadozie, a Director in the Federal Ministry of External Affairs, said, that the group was already compiling a data base of unemployed youths in the state.
“With the data base, we will be able to access and assess the youths base on their vocations, locations and requisite qualifications when the occasion calls for it.”
According to him, the need to ensure good governance within the political class, economic empowerment for the economically weak individuals in the area, and moral resuscitation of the youths, were part of the driving force for the formation of the group.
