Industrialist Promises 20m Jobs In Support Of Tinubu

An Anambra State industrialist, Professor Ifemenanwa Joseph Okeke has pledged to create 20 million job opportunities in support of the Renewed Hope Agenda of the President Bola Tinubu-led federal government.

The chief executive officer (CEO) and managing director of Joenewideas International, an international green energy development and promotion consultant who spoke to LEADERSHIP said that his firm is involved in converting waste to wealth.

He said his firm is planning skills acquisition programmes to empower 20 million unemployed youths across all the states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.

Prof. Okeke said that his firm would carry out the skill acquisition programmes in partnership with President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

He said the waste-to-wealth project would create job opportunities that would benefit youths across the country regardless of their religious, cultural, or ethnic background.

He explained that the jobs would be created through the recycling of human and agro-allied waste products.

He stated that the beneficiaries would be trained in fabricating Industrial Solar energy, recycling waste products, and manufacturing machines for agricultural products.

He said, “We are not doing this to gather much profits but to support Mr President to enable him to achieve his vision of making every Nigerian an employer of labour.

“We are going to use what we know and what we have through our skills acquisition programmes to empower the 20 million unemployed youths across the states of the federation including the Federal Capital Territory FCT Abuja. We want every Nigerian youth under this current administration to be legally engaged in doing one thing or the other.

“We are honoured to extol the virtues of Mr. President, who has consistently demonstrated an unwavering commitment to the growth and development of our beloved country, Nigeria. His leadership and vision have rekindled hope and inspired a new generation of Nigerians to embrace democracy as a way of life.

“Within his two years in office, he has been able to promote economic growth, good governance, and social justice. His dedication to the nation’s progress is a testament to his statesmanship and vision.

“We are calling for collaboration with the Federal Government, State Governments, local governments, investors, Religious bodies, and other relevant stakeholders to achieve the pledged.

“As we mark this significant day in our nation’s history, we recognise President Tinubu’s tireless efforts to strengthen democratic institutions, promote economic growth, and ensure the well-being of all Nigerians”, the renowned industrialist stated further.

The Joenewideas boss said that a team of experts from the National Centre for Energy Research and Development, University of Nigeria Nsukka, as well as, National Council for Climate Change headquarters, Abuja have already been constituted to take up the implementation of the project.
