Over 5,000 young people from Anambra State’s 21 local government areas will be empowered thanks to N2 billion in startup funding granted by Governor Chukwuma Soludo.
According to Anaedoonline.ng, the state government launched the “1 Youth, 2 Skills” development programmes after extensive training and the introduction of this initiative.
The first set of beneficiaries received their awards recently in Awka, signalling the beginning of a significant journey for these budding young business owners.
Five Reasons You Should Base Your Startup In Nnewi?
Hon. Chuks Azotani, the chairman of the committee on Information Technology and Creative Economy in the Anambra State House of Assembly, encouraged the beneficiaries to make judicious investments in their newly acquired skills and businesses to realize the scheme’s objectives.
Governor Soludo’s programme, which aims to reduce unemployment and encourage economic self-sufficiency among young people in the state, was praised by Hon. Azotani. In his opinion, this programme will not only make Anambra more rich but also raise a new generation of business owners who will eventually hire people.
Azotani highlighted the substantial economic effects of the Soludo administration’s “1 Youth, 2 Skills” programme, which was aided by the State Ministry of Youth Development and focused mostly on ICT (information, communication, and technology). He exhorted the recipients to make the most of the abilities and information they have gained.

The legislator expressed his happiness that almost 100 of the initial recipients are from the Dunukofia local government area, telling the young in the region that more exciting chances are on the horizon.
In his final words, Azotani urged young people in Nigeria to pursue worthwhile endeavours, particularly in the ICT sector, noting that the Soludo administration is working on additional initiatives aimed at building the socioeconomic infrastructure of Anambra State.
In addition, he urged Anambra residents to band together and assist the state administration in its endeavours to improve the state’s economy and quality of life.
