The Public Affairs Officer for the European Union, Mrs. Ugosikari George has expressed her happiness about Nigerian youths willingness to acquire new knowledge during the Eastern Nigeria International Film Festival, ENIFF three-day Film Production training in Enugu.

Speaking with ESUT Monitor on Friday after day 2 of the training Programme, Mrs George revealed her happiness about Nigeria youths and their enthusiasm and described them as wonderful people

“Today’s event is really wonderful, if there is other word beyond wonderful I will use it to express my happiness, because I have learnt so much though the event is not created for me. It is created for the youths in the Eastern part of Nigeria.

“From what I have learnt today I hope Nigerian youths have also assimilated it as well because Film can be used to mobilize, to change the society. I think I am envious of Nigerian youths, because when I was growing up I didn’t have this opportunity, if I had maybe I would have turned out more better,” she said.

She further said that there is hope for Nigerian students and youths.

“What they need is to focus and act on what we have learnt today. The advice I want to give to Nigerian students and to ESUT especially is to take everything serious. There are a lot of creativity in Nigeria youths, don’t take it for granted, don’t feel shy, don’t fall your self, there a lot of opportunities you can link your self up,” she advised.

“There are people in Film industries and Film producers, that I have seen around here, having them around I think it is an opportunity for you to get connected to them and learn as much as you can. All of them are very willing and ready to give out what is inside them, so I will advice you young ones to go ahead and do this,” she
said.

The 2024 edition of the ENIFF training climaxes today at SPAL Enugu with ESUT students from Department of Mass Communication attending the training
