The Akwa Ibom State government is to launch an employment programme tagged “Ibom 3000 Project” for youths in the state.
Governor Udom Emmanuel, who announced this during a statewide broadcast to the people of the state over recent happenings concerning the #EndSARS, #ENDPOLICEBRUTALITY protest, said the project was to prepare them for the over 1000 jobs that would be created from the expected industrialization boom in the state.
In his broadcast, Governor Emmanuel expressed sympathy with those who lost their lives in the state and different parts of the country but decried the activities of hoodlums who hijacked the protest to destroy and loot property in the state.
The Governor commended youths who rose up to protect infrastructure in the state and assured them that his administration would put in place programmes that would be of benefit to them.
He added that a programme tagged ‘My Entrepreneurship Goals Programme,’ MEGP- batch 111, would provide needed education and skills in entrepreneurship that would assist them to create jobs for themselves.
The programme would kick-start by next week.
