About 7000 graduates and unemployed youths in Edo State have benefitted from Senator Matthew Urhoghide’s training and empowerment programmes which started in 2016.
This was disclosed by the Senator’s aide, Pet Eghobamien, who flagged off a one-day training for 220 beneficiaries in Benin on Monday, which was sponsored by Cross River Basin Authority and facilitated by the Senator.
Eghobamien said the training is regularly organised by the Senator, adding, “For this particular training, 200 persons would be trained on fabrication with N50,000 take-off fund, while the 22 persons to be trained in hair making would be given all the equipment needed to start their business.
“As of today, we have trained 7,000 people. He doesn’t just train them, he empowers them. He does it regularly and there is another one coming before Christmas which will end before the year runs out. The training will resume next year. He has promised and he will fulfil it.
“Those who have benefitted in the past also got what they need to start their businesses. For barbers, we gave them everything, including generating sets to start. All they need is to get a shop and start the business.”
