The Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, has stated that his administration has empowered more than 36,000 youths across the state with various skills, emphasising that youths remain the greatest asset of any society.

Soludo disclosed this today at the swearing-in and opening ceremony of the 2026 Batch ‘A’ Stream 1 National Youth Service Corps orientation programme held at the NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp, Nnamdi Azikiwe Unity Camp, Mbaukwu/Umuawulu, Awka South Local Government Area.

He noted that his government, guided by Anambra Vision 2070, is deliberately building a prosperous, inclusive, and smart society where young people are equipped to thrive urging corps members to avoid being passive observers, but rather immerse themselves in the Anambra experience to learn, create, collaborate and contribute meaningfully to the state’s development.
