Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State, has donated 50 million Naira to 500 beneficiaries of the State Chapter of Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria Skill Acquisition programme.
The PFN programme which complements the government’s “one youth, two skills’ initiative, incorporates character and value orientation.
The donation is an additional support to their start-up grant, which will also be awarded to them by the PFN.
Soludo disclosed this when PFN held a rededication ceremony for Jesus Our Physician Specialist Hospital (JOPH) and graduation ceremony for the beneficiaries of the skill programme in Amawbia.
He assured the beneficiaries of access to funding from cooperatives, highlighting the PFN’s vital role in empowering the youth and contributing to the state’s development.
Speaking further, Soludo commended the PFN state Chairman for his successful re-election, emphasizing the importance of collaborative efforts in building a better society.
He said, “We can’t work separately. The body of Christ is one, and we must come together in the spirit of ecumenism.”
Also, Soludo stressed the need for a Public Community Private Partnership (PCPP) approach, where individuals, industries, and the church play their respective parts to achieve a prosperous Anambra.
He acknowledged the PFN as a critical stakeholder in his administration’s PCPP strategy and expressed his vision of building a society with zero poverty.
