The Chairman of Alispac Group of Companies Nigeria Ltd ; an Industrialist and Philantropist per excellence ; International constitution lawyer and Human Rights Advocate ; a top flight Imo governorship hopeful under MAJA Party ; Chief ( Barr) Aloysius Osuji , has called on Imo State government , private individuals and corporate bodies in the state to support entreprenurial trainning for Imo youths , insisting that it was the sure way to pivot Imo greatness and that of the country given the unprecedented growing rate of youth mass unemployment occassioned by favouritism , nepotism and man -know- man – syndrome ; apart from the global economic meltdown .
Chief Osuji who stated this at a town hall interactive session with Imo diasporans in the United Kingdom , maintained that the Federal Government realised this and that explained the reasons why it was investing heavily on intervention programms such as :
..The Government Enterprise and Empowerment Programme -GEEP
.. N- Power and Innovation Hubs .
However , as an Industrialist , and a trained lawyer who understands the times ; the essence of entreprenurial skills acquisition and self reliance in a beleaguering and depressing economy , promised to embark on construction of well equipped skills acquisition centres in the three senatorial districts of Owerri, Orlu and Okigwe zones simultenously in the first one year anniversary of his administration , if elected .
As a successful entrepreneur before his fora into politics , Chief Aloysius Osuji understands the symbotic relationship between Industrial development and availability of relevant skilled individuals needed to fill up the workforce and employment space in the various technical work enviroments .
The Imo born International legal luminary and savvy politician mainatined that with the growing advancement of technology and knowledge -based driven economy which brought in its stride globalization , new geographical relationships through job transfer , increased market competition and relative flurry of activities , the demand for highly skilled workforce has become not only imperative but also urgent .
Mr. Osuji , while speaking with TheAbba4thforce.com after the interactive session in far away United Kingdom , stated that with trainning in entrepreneurship , youths could learn discipline , financial management , good habit and hone innate skills that would also take them and their families out of the vicious circle of poverty and in search of elusive white-collar jobs that have been withheld and reserved for the cronies and children of the elite and social class .
The Imo governorship hopeful under MAJA Party , therefore , passionately called on the state government , corporate bodies and politicians in the state to invest in the youths to steer them away from crimes .
