OWERRI—Speaker of the House of Representatives, Chief Emeka
Ihedioha, has said he would continue to respect, cherish and empower Nigerian
youths since they remained the backbone of the nation’s future.
Ihedioha gave the declaration, yesterday, at the
Federal University of Technology, Owerri, FUTO, while flagging off the second
phase of the Training and Research Development for Imo youths.
“Youths remain the backbone of the nation’s tomorrow.
I will not abandon our youths, even after leaving public office. I will
continue to respect, cherish and empower them,” Ihedioha said.
The speaker explained that decision to use the Centre
for Entrepreneurial Studies of FUTO was deliberate because he attached so much
importance to youth development and empowerment.
Ihedioha, whose message was delivered by his
aide, Sir Bright Nwelue, also explained that the training was aimed at helping
youths to be economically self-reliant, especially in these days of mass
unemployment.
After giving a litany of benefits accruable to the
participants at the end of the training, Ihedioha urged the participants to
take the workshop seriously because it would assist them in their future
endeavours.
