DELTA STATE ICT - Youth Empowerment Program (YEP): ONE OF GOV. OKOWA'S LEGACIES ABOUT TO HIT THE ROCK*

The Delta State ICT Youth Empowerment Program introduced by our pragmatic and trail blazing Governor - Senator Doc Ifeanyi Okowa through the Ministry of Science and Technology is a program meant to equip youths of the state with cutting-edge ICT skills and innovative competencies. The program which the governor birthed with a lofty objective of empowering young Deltans with ICT skills and knowledge to be entrepreneurs and economic drivers was launched sometime in February 2021.

To ensure that very competent, passionate and committed individuals were enlisted for the program, a rigid and competitive selection procedure which involved CBT exams, certificate screening and oral interview were adopted by handlers of the program.

Upon completion of training, participants are to be provided with empowerment packages (starter packs) in the areas of their specialization to enable them start up entrepreneurship activities immediately. The program include training in Basic and Advanced Frontend/Backend Web Development, Mobile Development, UI/UX Design Essentials, Advanced Networking, CCTV Installations, etc.
Orientation/class resumption for selected candidates commenced on the 24th of May, 2021 at Delta State Innovation Hub Asaba.

The training which involved intensive lecture and hands-on sessions lasted for four months and participants were made to commit to full attendance which means them leaving their places of private assignments.

*Agony of Participants.*

The ICT-YEP had participants of Deltan decent from within and outside the state. On several occasions during the selection stage, participants had to travel from their various places of residence within and outside the state to Asaba.
Upon being successful in the selection process and subsequently offered admission, majority of the participants had to contend with accommodation challenge. While some who lived in neighboring communities of Ogwashi Uku, Agbor, Abraka, etc. had to come to Asaba daily for their training sessions, others who came from afar and could not be accommodated by relatives, friends and acquaintances had to secure short term accommodation for the duration of the program.
Even with the high cost of living in Asaba, participants were dedicated to their training schedules and activities with the consolation or taking solace in the better future that awaits upon completion of the program as they were promised to be adequately compensated through starter packs to immediately begin entrepreneurship.

For the duration of the training, participants having left their places of private assignment or personal hustling in the absence of official employment had to endure devastating hardship as they lived on monthly stipends of Ten Thousand Naira (#10,000) from the Ministry and support from relatives and acquaintances, for those who are from a privileged background.

Almost two (2) months after successful completion of the training, participants are yet to officially hear from the government as well as handlers of the program regarding the mode of empowerment (starter pack). Participants are therefore now very agitated, disquiet and losing patience and faith as a result of the prolonged silence from the government.

Delay in providing starter packs to participants would no doubt jeopardize attaining the objectives of the program and the good intentions of our trail blazing governor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa for introducing the program. Participants ought to be engaging skills and knowledge they have acquired and the promised starter pack is very instrumental to this.

This is therefore a call and plea on the governor and other stakeholders of the program to expedite actions to see that participants are given their due entitlements.

PLEASE AFTER THE RIGOROUS PROCESS OF SELECTION, MOST OF US BORROWED MONIES TO RENT ACCOMODATIONS IN ASABA AND ARE YET TO PAY THE DEBT, WE HAVE LEARNT THIS SKILL FOR OVER TWO MONTHS NOW AND ARE YET TO RECEIVE THE STARTER PACKS, IF THIS PACKS ARE NOT GIVEN TO US IN TIME ARE WE NOT GOING TO FORGET ALL WE LEARNT?

THE THEORY OF USE AND DISUSE STATES THAT A KNOWLEDGE OR SKILL USED WILL GENERATE AND WHEN NOT IN USE WILL DEGENERATE.

PLEASE THOSE IN CHARGE OF OUR STARTER PACKS SHOULD KINDLY UPDATE US FOR COLLECTION SO WE CAN CONTINUE TO SING THE PRAISE OF OUR GOVERNOR WHO HAS ALWAYS HAD THE YOUTH EMPOWERMENT AS HIS KEY AGENDAS......

IF WE DON'T HEAR FROM THE MINISTRY IN TIME WE WILL BE FORCED TO GO TO SOCIAL MEDIA COMMENTATORS TO CALL NAMES OF PEOPLE THAT WANTS TO SPOIL HIS EXCELLENCY'S GOOD AGENDA FOR THE STATE.

YOU GUYS DON'T KNOW THE VALUE OF WHAT HIS EXCELLENCY IS DOING... THAT'S WHY YOU ARE TOILING WITH PEOPLES FUTURE.

Infact the matter tire me. The handlers want to scam ICT-YEP graduands. STEP beneficiaries started almost the same time with ICT-YEP but they have gotten their starter pack oo. Lala and seun please move this to front page

Na dem dey mak stupid policy going bak to violate am that's how one of dem dey use Cryptoo app the oda day...

They are no violating their policy, ban twitter is to curtail freedom of expression and hide the inadequacy of this regime. They would lift the ban on twitters when election is close by. They are only catching cruise. Na way to reduce spread of dissatisfaction against apshit

So all the degree holders that married fellow graduates are compatible.Book are what enlarges the mind of an individual. Besides degree is not the only source of knowledge.

My advice is you should let her go. It’s just a lame excuse. How many graduates are actually practicing what they study in school. From my observation you are intelligent and able to communicate your thoughts. The babe no like you or she want force you go university. Being a graduate is it a yardstick for being successful in life. Na so one babe tell me say she no go marry me because I be delta Igbo and las las and urhobo man she marry, the other one say her mama no free make we marry. My brother don’t waste your time on that foolish girl

I said if that it won’t be possible this year.some they attack me.look the pattern March-April,July-August the next list go be November-December then training go be next year

Final List dey come out for late November/early December

Please I need help how can withdraw my money in Skrill to my bank account

All these delay is geared towards 2023. The list would come out next year so that it can be used for campaign for the next election. Look at the pattern. List is released every 3-4months, March/April,July/August the next one would be November/December. we shouldn’t expect anything in these two months. Let’s brace up for next year

Please explain more on crowd funding

Na wa o. These guys are strong.

Does anyone have idea what they would be giving as starter packs and when the graduation will be taking place

nairabaira2usd has refused to credit my skrill account. I called their number be for paying and I was asked to pay. its over 24hrs I paid into their bank account and they have refused to credit my account. I chatted them a d I was asked o upload my invoice I'd which I did and uploaded the details if my bank deposit when I went to confirm deposit. the painful thing is that I borrowed this money with interest. I don't get want to believe naira2usd is scam.

please has anyone bought skrill from naira2usd. it seems its scam or legit. I deposited money into their account since yesterday. uploaded deposit details in the site and up till my skrill account hasn't been credited

The constitutional review committee of APC recommending that anyone who wants to contest for any elective position in the party must be an up to date financial member for at least 12months is a welcome development if implemented. This policy will reduce cross carpeting and make politicians loyal to their party no matter if it's the ruling party or opposition party. I see Nigerian political parties become ideological,but three years would have been better. Anyway its a good start. I wish other political parties will do same

Hmm. I don't want to mention it this moniker. Much later I'll inform fellow Nigerians all I learnt and the latest occultic trend that has stylishly entered/crept into the Christianson almost unnoticed

Please I am interested

healthserve:
Create a new email and drop it, I'll send you detailed information on how they operate etc.

And their details the ones I've found out. I'm compiling their list. Funny enough they're now mingling with top government officials to cement their occultism presence in the society.
