Politics Cross River Signs Mou to Employ 10,000 Youths

[LequteMan]

According to Mr. Roy Ndoma-Egba, the head of the Department of International Donor Support in Cross River, the state government has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Youth Empowerment and Social Support Organisation, to empower 10,000 youths in the state.

Ndoma-Egba said that the gesture was to take the unemployed out of the streets.

“We will have a central data system where we can categorise each applicant on the basis of qualification, need and catchments.

“Some will be placed under the Conditional Cash Transfer scheme of the State Government and others will be provided with paid employment.

The special adviser said that the programme would involve all unemployed youths in rural and urban areas of the state.

He assured that the selection process for the beneficiaries would be transparent and that the distribution would also be equitable. NAN

Best thing any PDP governor has done in a long time....

Really? Surely there'll be at least one governor who would've done something better.

I do hope for their sakes, that this doesn't turn out to be all talk and no do - something governments and Nigerians in general do rather well
