Ebonyi to empower corps members to create jobs – Umahi

The governor of Ebonyi State, Dave Umahi, on Tuesday vowed to empower members of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, posted to the state, to create jobs.
Mr. Umahi made the commitment during the swearing-in of 2016 Batch A, Stream 2, corps members at the NYSC Orientation Camp in Afikpo Local Government Area.
Despite the adverse economic situation in the country, the governor said Ebonyi would turn the potential jobseekers to job creators.



Mr. Umahi was represented at the swearing-in ceremony by the state Commissioner for Youth Development and Sport, Charles Chukwuemeka.
The governor, who lauded the vision of the scheme, however, maintained that his administration would ensure that the gains of NYSC were sustained
“This administration will always place it on its priority list to sustain these gains despite the economic challenges,” the governor explained.
“Let me assure you that my administration will always attach great importance to efforts geared towards sustaining the gains of the NYSC scheme.”
During the past one year, he said his administration has created a platform to harness the potentials of youth to become job creators.
