Posted by One of the ways the Delta State government is attempting to lower unemployment in the state—particularly among young people—is by establishing entrepreneurship programs in universities.
During a courtesy call on Tuesday, Dr. Onyibe Peterson, the Special Advisor on Entrepreneurship Development to the Governor of Delta State, revealed this information to the University of Delta, Agbor’s management.
Peterson emphasized the value of entrepreneurship in kids’ life, pointing out that it will inspire them to come up with creative solutions.
He said that employment creation and economic growth are fueled by entrepreneurship, particularly for recent graduates.
The governor’s assistant emphasized that the goal of the techpreneur and agropreneur programs is to constructively engage students in becoming employment creators rather than job seekers.
He asked for a sizable plot of land where the hydroponic farming method would be used in an effort to benefit the school as well as the pupils.
Regarding techpreneurship, Peterson stated that students will receive training from a group of ICT specialists, with a focus on cyber security, digital marketing, and other areas to maximize their abilities.
In her answer, the university’s vice chancellor, professor Stella Chiemeke, praised Peterson for his deeply felt affection for University of Delta.
According to Chiemeke, the Department of Agriculture will take the necessary steps to guarantee that the institution was prepared to collaborate with the Office of Entrepreneurship.
