The member representing Enugu North/South of Enugu State at the National Assembly Green Chambers, Honourable Chimaobi Atu has explained why he is empowering the youths in his constituency

Speaking in an exclusive interview with ESUT Monitor on Friday when he paid a visit to his erstwhile department, Industrial Chemistry in ESUT, the young lawmaker whose policies and projects are transforming the lives of his constituency, reckoned that he is empowering the youths in order to eradicate poverty, hunger and insecurity in the land.

Hon Atu who described the youths as the major work force of every nation, said that no responsible leader who wants to create a lasting impact would neglect the youths.

“Every reasonable government knows that the youths are the major work force of any society, so empowering them is to eradicate poverty, hunger and insecurity in the society. Mostly, we need them to get foundation because when you build a house you get the foundation first before the main house. The youths are the foundation of the country, that is why we are empowering them,” he said.

Hon Chimaobi Atu through his foundation is empowering youths including students through skills acquisition, entrepreneurship and scholarships.
