November 26, 2024

By; Unubi Emmanuel

Kogi State Governor, His Excellency Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo, has praised the National Hydroelectric Power Producing Areas Development Commission for its efforts in combating unemployment and mitigating poverty in the countr, particularly in Kogi State.

The Governor, represented by his Deputy Comrade Joel Salifu, expressed his appreciation during the commencement of the distribution of start-up kits for 5000 YTP Skilled participants and the presentation of CAC certificates to the beneficiaries at the Muhammadu Buhari Civic Center, Lokoja. He lauded the commission’s proactive role in its initiative aimed at reducing unemployment and poverty among the youth population of the state.

In his address, he conveyed, “On behalf of His Excellency Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo FCA, the Chief servant of Kogi State, I extend gratitude to N-HYPPADEC for collaborating with the Kogi State Government in providing start-up kits for 5000 YTP Skilled participants and awarding CAC certificates to all recipients.”

“The N-HYPPADEC has undoubtedly exhibited a commendable gesture towards the people within its jurisdiction, particularly the citizens of Kogi State, through this noble initiative. This endeavor will undoubtedly diminish youth unemployment, reduce criminal activities, and enhance the economic prosperity of the state.”

“As an administration, we deeply value this benevolent gesture and urge the recipients to utilize these kits and equipment effectively for personal growth and development.”

Deputy Governor Joel Salifu reassured the people of the state of the governor’s unwavering commitment to enhancing their livelihoods. “I assure you that Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo’s government is devoted to elevating the standard of living for the people of the state, especially the youth and women, through favorable policies and programs. We will tirelessly work to ensure that we serve the people equitably, without any bias or partiality.”

Earlier in his address, the Managing Director of N-HYPADDEC, Mr. Abubakar Sadiq Yelwa, fcna, highlighted that The Hydroelectric Power Producing Areas Development Commission was established by an Act of the National Assembly (HYPPADEC establishment Act 2010) to address ecological challenges arising from the operation of Hydroelectric Dams.

He said the initiative stemmed from the grievances expressed by individuals, groups, and formal institutions affected by the construction and operation of these dams in Nigeria, maintaining that the objective was to mitigate the ecological, socioeconomic, and psychological repercussions of the dams on the communities that endured significant imbalances from the projects without adequate compensation to rectify the disparities.

The commission’s MD mentioned that a total of approximately 702 participants in the state had undergone training and graduated in various skills such as tailoring, poultry farming, catering, fish farming, hairdressing, bead making, cosmetology, graphic design, computer proficiency, and others. These individuals will be empowered to alleviate the impact of economic downturn and poverty in the country.

Mr. Abubakar expressed gratitude to the state government for its collaborative efforts, which contributed to the success of the initiative in Kogi State.
