Six more Akwa Ibom people have jetted out of Nigeria to China to undergo training on Data Infrastructure Construction as well as Application Technologies and International Cooperation Low-carbon and Circular Development courtesy of Rt. Hon Unyime Idem.
Idem is the representative of Ukanafun/ Oruk Anam federal constituency in the Nigeria’s House of Representatives.
The six (6) trainees are;
Nyakno Harry Udonta
Emmanuel Ezekiel Umoren
Shammah Ofonime Umanah
Aniekeme John Jim
Ufot Etim Ukpong
Ubong Ime Johnson.
The all-expense paid training is in fulfilment of my promise to train 100 Akwa Ibom youths on relevant skills needed for optimum efficiency and global competitiveness.
At a brief send forth ceremony , the federal lawmaker reminded them that the world is now a global village where there is need for them to be exposed to modern technology to be able to compete with their counterparts globally.
“To achieve this, I am 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 so that wherever they have an opportunity to work, they will not lag behind”
Rt. Hon Unyime Idem
The lawmaker who heads the House Committee on Public Procurement said he decided to take the training route because it has been of benefit to him.
“I have taken this step because what is helping me today to do what I am 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”
Part of the letter to the beneficiaries, titled “Letter of Nomination and Sponsorship to Training in China”, reads “As a participant in the training, you’re entitled to a travelling allowance, but beyond that, your experience there will put you on a pedestal to compete favourably with your counterparts across the globe.”
“I therefore advise you 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.”
