I hate socialism with passion honestly

4 billion can build 16 standard ict vocational training centers across imo state

Each can train 1000 students yearly on various ict industry vocations ...app development , website design , graphics , content creators n editing ,etc this are programs with 60% employment guaranteed

16,000 imo youths can be trained in specialized ict skills with this 4bn every year

In 10 years 160,000 youths and imo would dominate the ict industry in Africa really

Or u can build different vocational training centers 100 million each that's 40 of them

Train people on many things , ict , leather works , photography , modern wood works , landscaping design , building technology , fashion industry , even music studios

This is how to develop a people ..u give them skills not money

Money that should be channeled on infrastructure, I don't know why some People don't think before acting.

Northern governors pays 900 millions to 30 bandit and IMO state governor is paying 4billions to 15000 youths.

The gap is too much .

But first ask police to free the innocent youths label UGM in their custody.

This should be first move before the peanuts Establishment's gift

Problems no d finish

Doesn’t change the fact he’s a Supreme Court governor

How many times will they tell that supreme Court governor that Igbos are not the UGM?

Every one knows that the unknown gunmen rubbish were imported thugs from Abuja... thanks to DSS nd fulani govt.

Now this clown is helping his masters by accepting the narrative that UGM are Igbos. Very silly governor.
