In this period when the world is facing a major security and economic problem occasioned by a great level of youth unemployment the Abia state government through its skill acquisition program again devised a means of getting its youths meaningfully and independently engaged through its skill acquisition program.
for the first time Abia as a state just witnessed the passing out of the first batch of graduates of government trained and sponsored graduates from its skill acquisition centers located in different centers in Abia state.
Since the only panacea for crime and criminality is to get the youths gainfully engaged, and Abia as a state having had its fair share of kidnapping and other forms of criminality that held the state down and chased away investors and would be investors whom through their investments in the state would have added live to the economy of the state and by so doing increase Abia,s internally generated revenue, that was why Ochendo had to device other means of getting Abia youths engaged by training them in different skills and giving them all the needed assistance that will make them employers of labour in time to come.
It is a popular saying that an idle mind is the devils workshop, Ochendo global having realized that to sustain the peace and secured environment that he has created in Abia state, that he has to keep the youths gainfully busy so as to keep their minds away from crime and also having realized that the state cannot employ every other Abian that seeks to have a secure means of lively hood decided to open up those skills acquisition centers whereby those whom before now do not have any form of training in any skill or trade and therefore unemployable can get trained in different trades and skills free of any charges by the state government and while in training will be receiving monthly stipends ten thousand naira that will sustain them till they graduate and upon graduation the government will assist them 100% to set up their own businesses.
this program which has been described by many as a noble one and the best form of youth empowerment is hundred percent powered by the Ochendo government and the beneficiaries are chosen without consideration to your local government , political party affiliation, gender or class, the only thing that qualifies one to take part in this program is that you are an Abian.
and since the live of this administration is winding down I pray the next administration will sustain this very important project that has been started by the Ochendo administration and my advise to Abia youths is to tap into this program now that they have the opportunity.

T A still playing this outdated brand of politics.all na scam.see TA wey no fit do em primary duties as a governor na skill em wan give people.am tired of commenting in a biz matters because I have come 2 understand that abians are the major problem with abia. A case study is Aba that has been turned to a refuse dump yet none of their leaders could come out boldly and condemn it.Their is not a single man of principle in abia especially the ngwa people.an average ngwa man is bad.u hardly see a sincere ngwa man,just a little money they can sell their conscience. Don't be surprise that those posting this rubbish and hailing TA are all ngwa people.all those post bY those APC e rats are true state of roads if not worst but the problem is that the indigens are comfortable with it.this is a big problem caused by Orji Uzor kale who installed a hungry crafty man as his successor, in turn the rumor in aba is dat another version of TA in the name of Ikpeazu is being positioned to loot the state the more.abia ndo
