Madume stated that over 1,000 youths of Niger Delta region have so far registered in the first phase of the HOPE project, noting that the second phase would focus on engaging the youths for training in various industrial skills.

She said the empowerment programme was designed to create a comprehensive database of the youth population of the Niger Delta to determine their needs, qualifications, skills, passion, interests, and employment status.

The director stated that such data would provide a parameter for youth employment generation, empowerment, and capacity development in the region.
