The Anambra State Chairman, Nigeria Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN), Surveyor Emeka Obi, Wednesday, donated a total of twenty computer sets to the organisation with a view to keep off training of youth at grassroots on Information Communication Technology (ICT).
Obi, who made the donation at Awka, Anambra State capital, said it was part of his commitment to provide enabling environment for the youth to acquire skills on ICT and get empowered.
According to him, NYCN will on Friday, the 19th of August, 2022, unveil the 20 sets of desktop computer, which was also in line with his promise since June, 2022.
“It is my delight to inform you that we are ready to commence our ICT drive with the unveiling of the 20 sets of desktop computers which I donated to the Council. The computers and their components have been procured and we have also inaugurated the Directorate of ICT to champion this cause.
“I wish to state that the major target for this initiative will be Anambra youths especially at the communities who wish to acquire ICT knowledge but for one reason or the other, are unable to,” he said.
He, however, noted that the Council faces a major challenge with logistics to accomplish the ICT drive.
“We appeal to spirited individuals, groups, corporate agencies and philantropists and politicians to assist us and procure a bus for us. This will go a long way in assisting us move the ICT equipment and personnel to the training centres across the state.
“We also have our vehicle that needs serious maintenance and the Council will also appreciate any assistance that will enable us repair it for smooth operation,” Obi appealed.
