The former Governor of Anambra State added; “I was gratified by their zeal to succeed and their enthusiasm to initiate and contribute to positive changes in society.

The Labour Party presidential candidate stated further; “However, I encouraged the youths to remain committed and resolute in being entrepreneurial and growing their small businesses and to continue with their contribution to our national productivity for growth and development. To achieve the New Nigeria which will be anchored on moving Nigeria from consumption to production, governments must encourage and support entrepreneurship and small businesses aggressively.”

He noted; “I supported the program with a token of 3 million Naira. I thank the organisers of the program and the individuals who contributed to mentoring the young ones. I appreciate them for the success they have recorded so far.”
