The wife of the Anambra Governor, Dr. Nonye Soludo, has expressed satisfaction with the performance of participants in the first batch of the “Anambra Skilled Ladies Training Programme.”
She described the initiative as a catalyst for self-reliance and entrepreneurial growth among women.
Soludo stated in a Saturday release in Awka that the five-week intensive training had equipped at least 100 young women with practical and marketable skills.
It is recalled that on March 13, Soludo inaugurated the programme under her Healthy Living Initiative to empower young women with practical, high-demand vocational skills.
The programme aims to dismantle professional stereotypes and promote women’s economic independence.
According to Soludo, it has proven to be a “game changer,” bridging employment gaps, fostering innovation, and enhancing women’s participation in the economy.
“It has been five weeks of intensive practical classes for the Anambra Skilled Ladies Programme. What thrills me most is the passion, dedication, and meticulousness these women have demonstrated in every task,” she said.
“I am pleased with the progress recorded so far; soon, these participants will graduate with the quality skills and experience that will transform their lives,” she added.
Soludo expressed optimism about the future of the beneficiaries, describing them as “real change-makers” capable of driving positive transformation in society.
She noted that the training covered key technical areas such as solar and CCTV installation and repairs, air conditioning maintenance, tricycle (keke) repairs, carpentry, and painting.
The governor’s wife reiterated her commitment to initiatives that promote women’s empowerment and sustainable livelihoods in the state.
