The member representing Ukanafun/Oruk Anam Federal Constituency at the National Assembly, Rt. Hon Unyime Idem writes:
Earlier today, I sent forth the 7th batch of four Akwa Ibomites to China for Advanced Training on Economic Governance.
This is in fulfillment of my commitment to train 100 youths to gain mastery of relevant skills for self-sufficiency and global competitiveness, as well as raise the next generation of leaders in Akwa Ibom state.
The four trainees, who will be undergoing courses on Economic Governance, International Trade and Health are;
Uwakmfonabasi Ime Umoh
Peter Peter Ekon
Ediongsenyene Ndunobong
Unyime Okokon Etiebet
I reminded them that the world is a global village, so there’s need for them to be exposed to modern technology to be able to compete with their counterparts globally, so wherever they have an opportunity to work, they 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.
I’ve taken this step because 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 they will do better than me.
I also intend that the training will be done periodically in order to achieve the 100 targeted number.
Part of my letter 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 advice 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.”
