The all-expense paid training is in fulfilment of Rep. Idem’s promise to train 100 Akwa Ibom youths on relevant skills needed for optimum efficiency and global competitiveness.

The six (6) trainees are;

Imo Malachy Nkantion

Inimfon Dick Udoinyang

Ukeme Mfon Nelson

Stanley Sunday Peter

Alfred Elder Udofia

At a brief send forth ceremony in Abuja, Rep. Idem said the gesture is to equip and raise the next generation of leaders in Akwa Ibom state, with requisite knowledge and certification to play at the global stage.

“The world is a global village, so there’s need for you to be exposed to modern technology to be able to compete with your counterparts globally, so wherever you have an opportunity to work, you will not lag behind.

“To achieve this, I’m targeting to train and equip a minimum of 100 Akwa Ibomites to be self-reliant and to be able to compete with their counterparts across the world.”

“What is helping me today to do what I’m able to do and achieve is the level of training and exposure I’ve garnered over the years across the globe, and it is my desire that you do better than me,” Idem noted.

He promised that the training would be done periodically in order to achieve the 100 targeted number.

Part of the letter from Rep. Idem to the beneficiaries, titled “Letter of Nomination and Sponsorship to Training in China”, reads “As a participant in the training, you’re entitled to a travelling allowance, but beyond that, your experience there will put you on a pedestal to compete favourably with your counterparts across the globe.”

“I therefore advise you to be of good conduct as an ambassador of Akwa Ibom state and the country, Nigeria.”

“I wish you a safe stay throughout the training period and journey mercies, to and from China. Congratulations.”
