 Aquaibom State female youths are perhaps in for a great future as the wife of the state governor Her Excellency Dr. Martha Udom Emmanuel has flagged off a get a skill initiative with a view to empowering the young generation of women with entrepreneurial skills. The event which held at the Ebom Hall with the theme building a sustainable future through skills acquisition had an attendance over 2,000 female youths from the 31 local government areas of the state. Speaking shortly after the flagging of the event Dr. Emmanuel hinted that the program was aimed at showcasing Aquaibom female youths as well as tapping into their reservoir of talents for a sustainable future. The beneficiaries took turns to appreciate the organisers for giving them the opportunity to be trained. There is a lot of youth empowerment in this space as we are witnessing the black hole. You want to know how fine you are. You can't buy fine in the market. You can't take fine to the market and say, take fine, give me products. So you should start working like a business person. Who am I? What am I? What am I selling? What does this person need? What can I offer? It is out of the abundance of a person's heart. So you read the Bible, apply that to everyday living. If you don't have anything to give, you don't, nobody can also receive anything from you. Never allow somebody's dreams make you feel small with your own. In future what I would really like to see is that young women rise above sex, being sex slaves, rise above being second fiddle in the society. But will be women that can also take decisions in Nigeria's economy and are able to put food on their tables tomorrow. I'm so excited. I'm so happy that Iceland has been able to put this together to encourage the female youth to give us the hope and confidence and what and have value for ourselves. I want to be self-dependent, to be confident and to know that I can be anything I want to be in the future.
