The
Deputy Governor of Imo State and frontline governorship contender, Prince Eze
Madumere, has revealed that Capacity Building and Youth Development will form
the cardinal programme of his economic blueprint to up productivity and
development in the State.
According
to him, the resolve to adopt capacity building and youth development as key
policy thrusts are not unconnected with their strategic importance towards
realizing development goals of the State.
Prince
Madumere maintained that capacity building and youth development are critical
areas for development of competitive work force that will have both the
requisite skills and knowledge to drive any sector of the economy.
He
therefore attributes the spate of unemployment in the society to lack of skills
and knowledge to compete favourably with other better equipped candidates.
He,
however, insists on an articulated economic blueprint where every sector is
interdependent and also relevant to the success of others. He queries an
education system that is incapable of providing qualified work force that can
man various sectors of the economy.
It
will be recalled that the number two citizen of the State with his wealth of
experience in youth development, capacity building and having emerged from a
corporate world, has promised to put Imo youths and workers on the path of
relevance through training, developing the latent in the youth and channel
their energy towards relevant areas in the economy where their skills will be
needed.
The
governorship hopeful who had earlier promised development of Agricultural
sector and make it attractive to the youth, maintained that improving
agriculture and agri-business requires those with requisite skills and
knowledge even when they are provided with the mechanized implements to work
with.
The
Deputy Governor also seek to ensure that the handlers of the economy are also
knowledgeable environmental sensitive themselves to be proactive in their
managerial responsibilities, thereby calling for their periodic trainings and
improvement, which will help them in effective policy implementation towards achieving
set goals.
