Six youths from Akwa Ibom State have joined the long list of beneficiaries of Rt Hon Unyime Idem’s sponsored overseas training.
The six beneficiaries made up of five male and one female are heading to China to strengthen their capacity to become major players in the ever-evolving global Digital Economy as well as in the Marine Sector.
The all-expense paid training is in fulfilment of the federal lawmaker’s promise to train 100 Akwa Ibom youths on relevant skills needed for optimum efficiency and global competitiveness.
The six (6) trainees are;
Mfon Isong Emeh
Mfoniso Monday Dan
Celestine Ime Timothy
Josiah Emmanuel
Amadie Esak Ikator
Victor Ekpenyong Ekpenyong.
In a send forth address, Hon Unyime Idem reminded them that the world is a global village, so there’s need for them to be exposed to modern technology to be able to compete with their counterparts globally, so wherever they have an opportunity to work, they will not lag behind.
“To achieve this, I’m targeting to train and equip a minimum of 100 Akwa Ibomites to be self reliant and to be able to compete with their counterparts across the world.
“I’ve taken this step because what is helping me today to do what I’m able to do and achieve is the level of training and exposure I’ve garnered over the years across the globe, and it is my desire that they will do better than me”
The Federal lawmaker advised the beneficiaries to be of good conduct as an ambassador of Akwa Ibom state and the country, Nigeria.
“I wish you a safe stay throughout the training period and journey mercies, to and from China. Congratulations.”
