Be Ready To Replicate Your Job Creation Schemes As VP, Okowa Told

The Niger Delta Peace Initiative, NDPI has commended Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State on the graduation of the latest batch of trainees from the state’s Women Empowerment Skill Acquisition Programme (WESAP). Governor Okowa has also been urged to take the Delta job creation formula to Abuja as the next vice-president of the country and chairman of the National Economic Council.

Noting the salutary effect of the programme against the national malaise of unemployment projected at a 33% national average, the group said that Okowa had made a significant impact in sheltering the state from what it described as the malaise in Abuja.

The NPDI spoke against the background of the claim that the Okowa government had created 128,813 direct and indirect jobs besides the more than one million jobs that have also been created through the other infrastructural schemes of the administration.

The group reacted to the development in a statement issued on Tuesday, by its national coordinator, Emma Ekpe.

NPDI while commending Governor Okowa on his job creation schemes urged him to as a matter of urgency to carry the Delta job creation formula to Abuja for the benefit of the nation as vice-president.

“We are proud of the latest graduation of 280 trainees under the Empowerment Skill Acquisition Programme (WESAP).

“It is remarkable that such a scheme is coming out from Delta State and we can only pray that Governor Okowa should export the same scheme to Abuja to be replicated at the national level.

Continuing, the group while noting that Okowa’s job has been well cut out for him said:
“Governor Okowa as vice-president will be the chairman of the National Economic Council, a platform for him to project the same successful scheme he has practiced in Delta State at the national level.

“It is for this reason that we urge our people in the Niger Delta region and Nigerians at large to support the Atiku-Okowa project as it is the panacea to the unemployment and underemployment malaise that the nation is presently suffering.”
