OFAGBE TECHNICAL COLLEGE BUILDING
Governor Okowa was quite aware that unemployment and
empowerment problem is the biggest challenge confronting the State and country
and that all resources should be pooled together to create maximum possible avenues
for the unemployed youth of the State.
So far, the creation of opportunities for unemployed
youth remains the top priority of the present administration, which after
taking over the reins’ of government devised a first of its kind job policy in
the country through
the Youth Agricultural Entrepreneurship Programme, YAGEP and the Skill Training
and Entrepreneurship Programme, STEP, schemes acknowledged even at the national level.
As part of measures to
sustain the Skills Training and Entrepreneurship Programme, the State
government has commenced the rehabilitation of Technical Colleges in the State
and created of the Vocational Skills Education Board.
The Governor is committed to seeing hope and happiness
on the gloomy faces of un-employed youth and to make their future bright and
safe. The Governor’s interest is that while every possibility is being explored
to provide jobs in public sector, the youth should also venture into the
private sector by availing themselves of the attractive incentives available
under the State’s Industrial and Agricultural policies.
As part of efforts to
boost agricultural productivity and generate wealth for the people, the Delta
State Government, through its Production and Processing Support Programme (
PPSP ) has distributed tractors to agricultural cooperatives across the State
and hundreds of bags of fish feeds and fingerlings to fish farmers across the State.
It is necessary to caution our people against
machinations of political opponents who are desperately trying to hoodwink them
into needless criticisms through their falsehood and deceit. They will try to
exploit sentiments and emotions of the innocent people and polarize the
communities on ethnic basis, but Deltans should be united to thwart their
nefarious game plans.
The opposition championed by Fred Latimore Oghenesivbe
is impervious to the sterling performance of the present administration and
desperately tries to mislead people by false propaganda. The Government is well
abreast with the challenges of the people and no stone will be left un-turned in
coming up with creative and innovative ideas that meet their expectations. The
promises made to the people will be fulfilled earnestly and all genuine
grievances redressed. But the dire economic straits, which the country and
States face, dictates some measured steps, not thoughtless and needless
launching of projects that are never completed but aimed only at getting
publicity and applause that leave the State impoverished and tied down.
Deltans are fully aware. They cannot be led by the
nose by people whose only means of livelihood is to hurl invectives at innocent
hard-working people on Facebook.
Governor
Okowa’s popularity will continue to soar!
