Dr Sam Egwu Senator representing Ebonyi North zone in the national assembly has urged youths from the zone and state to be Information Communication Technology (ICT) compliant.
Egwu, said this in Abakaliki during the closing ceremonies of his ICT Empowerment Scheme for youths from the zone, noting that people searching for jobs in this 21st century will not be employed if they are not ICT compliant.
“I envy the participants because they have received tutorials on ICT programmes which I don’t know how to operate as we belong to the old, analogue generation.
He prayed that someone among the participants will one day, teach him how to operate some of the programmes, noting that the training is one way of enlightening and empowering youths from the zone.
Speaker of Ebonyi House of Assembly, Mr Francis Nwifuru, who is from the zone thanked Egwu for empowering its youths to be self employed, noting that it was a practical way of empowerment.
“Some politicians perpetually keep youths to even become personal assistants to their children as the glowing activities endeared Egwu to the people of the constituency which made its stakeholders to support his re-election.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Chairman in Ebonyi who is also from the area, Chief Onyekachi Nwebonyi, also thanked Egwu and noted that he would be supported to continue in the senate.
