The Senator representing Kogi East, Isah Jibrin Echocho has embarked on series of interventions aimed at empowering the youths of Kogi East to alleviate the economic hardship of his constituents.
The senator was in Omala Local Government Area Friday, where he launched a 4-day training programme in collaboration with the National Productivity Centre and Danfulani Ideas Limited.
The training programme, designed to equip youths with viable business strategies, capacity building and empowerment tools, is part of Senator Echocho’s efforts to mitigate the economic crunch in Nigeria.
Beneficiaries of the intervention expressed their gratitude to the senator, praising him for his unwavering commitment to their well-being.
Speaking through his Senior Legislative Aide, Danlami Garba, Senator Echocho pledged to sustain this drive, ensuring that all local governments in Kogi East benefit from the initiative; urging those yet to benefit to remain patient, assuring them that the intervention would soon reach them.
This latest initiative followed the first phase of the scheme, which saw over 200 constituents benefit in Dekina Local Government Area last month.
Senator Echocho’s dedication to his constituents’ economic empowerment is a beacon of hope amidst the country’s economic challenges.
