Enugwu-Agidi Youths Laud PG Ebuka Onuorah’s Compulsory Skills Acquisition Initiative in Open Letter to Anambra Commissioner
By O’star Eze
The Enugwu-Agidi Youths Organization has issued a powerful open letter commending the President General of Enugwu-Agidi, Hon. Ebuka Onuorah, for his groundbreaking declaration of a state of emergency on compulsory youth skills acquisition, describing it as a transformative investment in the community’s future.
Addressed to the Honorable Commissioner for Local Government, Chieftaincy and Community Affairs, Chief Collins Nwabunne, the letter, dated October 13, 2025, highlights Onuorah’s mandatory training program in vocational trades such as Tech, Mechanics, Carpentry, Furniture Making, Tailoring, Soap Making, and Catering, as a direct and effective response to unemployment and youth idleness.
“By equipping our young people with marketable, tangible skills, we are giving them the tools for sustainable independence and a dignified future,” the letter states.
Signed by Comr. Simon Okafor (Chairman) and Comr. Peace Okafor (Secretary), the youth leaders praised Onuorah’s leadership as a replication of Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s “One Youth, Two Skills” vision, noting a drastic reduction in youth restiveness and social vices in the community.
The letter contrasts Enugwu-Agidi’s progress with neighboring towns still grappling with youth-related challenges, emphasizing that “where despair once brewed, we now see the dignity of labor, the excitement of learning, and the pride of entrepreneurship.”
The youths called Onuorah’s policy “a compassionate and generational sacrifice”, urging the state government and community stakeholders to commend, support, and stand with him rather than criticize his bold approach.
“Hon. Ebuka Onuorah didn’t just talk about youth empowerment; he legislated it into existence,” the letter declared.
The initiative has reportedly turned local youths into creators, builders, and innovators, injecting new economic energy into Enugwu-Agidi.
With hashtags #EnugwuAgidiSkills, #YouthEmpowerment, and #EbukaOnuorah, the letter has sparked widespread praise on social media, positioning Onuorah as a model of proactive grassroots leadership in Anambra State.
The Enugwu-Agidi Youths Organization has called on the Anambra State Government to recognize and amplify this homegrown success story as a blueprint for youth development across the state.
