The former Minister of Aviation,
Princess Stella Oduah, has assured the people of Anambra North Senatorial Zone
that she would tackle growing youth unemployment, if elected.
Oduah, who is the PDP Senatorial
candidate for Anambra North zone, gave the assurance in Igbedor community, in
Nzam Council Area of Anambra, during a campaign tour on Monday.
The tour was organised by
Princess Stella Oduah Campaign Organisation (PSOCO) to showcase the
people-oriented programmes in the pipeline when Oduah assumes office.
“I will generate a data base for
youths, who are unemployed and ensure all of them are captured in its database.
“I will also set-up functional
and practical skills acquisition centres close to each secondary school in the
zone while the Stella Oduah Foundation would continue and expand its
scholarship scheme especially for talented and brilliant indigent students in
the zone,’’ she said.
She implored youths in the zone
to avail themselves of the opportunity in the new Aviation School, Ogbaru which
she attracted to the zone.
Earlier, a community leader in
Igbedor, Prince Emeka Onyekachi, thanked Oduah and her team for taking the
pains to travel 90 minutes through the dusty road leading to the community.
“For the first time in the history
of Igbedor, we are witnessing a political campaign rally and seeing our
would-be representative live here with us, sharing our pains and frustrations
with us.
