Ebonyi State Government has made plans to empower 1,300 Youths with N1 million each to grow their businesses.
In the coming few days, Nigerians begin nationwide protests against bad governance and hunger.
According to the Ebonyi State government, One Hundred youths will be selected from each of the 13 Local Government Areas of the State.
Governor Francis Nwifuru disclosed this while speaking at the Empowerment and Account of stewardship by Hon. Nwachukwu Eze, Member Representing Ebonyi/ Ohaukwu Federal Constituency held at Umuogudu Akpu Ngbo, Ohaukwu.
According to Nwifuru, the gesture is to appreciate the Youths for heeding his advice to refrain from the ongoing protest in some parts of the country.
“Our youths have shown they are highly responsible and exceptional by accepting my appeal not to join the protest in the interest of the State. I am indebted to them and I promise you I will continue to assist you to harness your potential”, the Governor assured. (Tribune)
