Oduah Unveils Empowerment Programme For Anambra Youths

             Odogwuemekaodogwu.com reports that youths and farmers in the 52 communities in Anambra North Senatorial zone are to benefit from scholarship, skills acquisition and other empowerment programmes of Princess Stella Adaeze Oduah Foundation in Anambra State.

Chairman of the foundation, Rev. Fr. Martin Onukuba, who announced the package at the weekend, during the mini-launch of the foundation for the Anglican dioceses of Ogbaru, Niger and Mbamili areas, said the foundation was conceived by Nigeria’s former minister of aviation, Princess Stella Oduah not for political purposes but to help the youths so as to give them a secured future.

The cleric said the foundation had five areas of focus, including sponsorship of  aspirants to priesthood, payment of bursary and tuition for undergraduates, micro credit scheme for entrepreneurs, farming support and skills acquisition for the youths. The coordinator of the foundation for the Anglican dioceses, Venerable Onyekwelu Obazie, noted that there were many privileged people in Nigeria, who, instead of using their position to help the youths, turn them into thugs and messengers.

He commended Princess Oduah for using her resources to touch the lives of the youths in the seven local government areas in the Anambra North Zone.

Ven. Obazie challenged the youths to remain focused and also get involved in the electoral process by participating in the ongoing permanent voter cards distribution and re-validation exercise.

A facilitator,  Barr. Mrs. Gloria Odita described the project of the Foundation as an opportunity the youths have longed for all their lives charging them to embrace the project without hesitation.
