In a heartwarming and progressive initiative, the Member representing Obowo State Constituency in the Imo House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Barr. Kennedy Ibeh, graced the onboarding ceremony of 20 Obowo youths into the GetBundi digital skills empowerment platform. The event, organized by the Ezeribe Foundation under the visionary leadership of Prince Chima Anyanwu, in partnership with GetBundi Africa led by Mr. Osita Oparaugo, marked a significant step towards equipping the next generation of Obowo youths with crucial digital skills.
The Imo State House of Assembly Member representing Obowo State Constituency Rt. Hon. Ibeh, affectionately known as “Nkenkenyi,” shared his deep sense of humanity and patriotism, underscoring the transformative impact that digital education can have on the lives of young people. In his keynote address, he encouraged the participants to seize the golden opportunity offered through the GetBundi platform. “This program is more than just training,” he said. “It’s an empowerment that opens doors to global opportunities and prepares you to become self-reliant in an ever-evolving digital world. The future belongs to those who are prepared, and I commend the Ezeribe Foundation for leading the charge.”
Rt. Hon. Ibeh’s presence and words at the event exemplified his unwavering commitment to the growth and development of Obowo. As a man who has consistently shown deep empathy for his people, he reminded the participants that his goal has always been to serve and uplift his constituency through meaningful engagement and empowerment initiatives. “We must invest in our youth,” he stated, “as they are the future of our community and our nation. This event is a testament to what can be achieved when resourceful sons and daughters of Obowo come together for the common good.”
His heartfelt call to action resonated with attendees, as he urged other illustrious sons and daughters of Obowo to follow in the footsteps of Prince Chima Anyanwu and contribute towards youth empowerment. “The Ezeribe Foundation has set an excellent example. I encourage all well-meaning Obowo indigenes to look into sponsoring more of our youth in similar programs or other empowerment opportunities. Together, we can create a future where every young person in Obowo is equipped with the skills they need to succeed.”
The partnership between the Ezeribe Foundation and GetBundi Africa is an impactful collaboration aimed at addressing the global shortage of qualified digital personnel. This initiative, through a well-designed six-month training program, will focus on digital marketing, web design, and various online business management tools that will make the youths self-reliant and economically enterprising by the end of their learning journey.
Prince Chima Anyanwu, the founder of Ezeribe Foundation, was lauded for his foresight and commitment to uplifting the youth of Obowo. The foundation’s decision to sponsor 20 participants in the GetBundi program showcases a clear understanding of the importance of digital skills in today’s economic landscape.
Dr. Eli Dibia, who also spoke at the event, reiterated the life-changing potential of the program. “This initiative by Prince Anyanwu is a blessing to the people of Obowo. The skills acquired here will equip our youth for the challenges of the digital economy. I implore each participant to make the most of this opportunity, remain focused, and ask questions throughout the course of the training. The future is bright for those who take this seriously.”
As the event concluded, Rt. Hon. Ibeh took a moment to reflect on the significance of initiatives like this, which are geared towards the empowerment and development of youths. He also acknowledged the critical role that digital technology plays in shaping modern economies and the need for Obowo youths to be equipped for the future. “I am deeply proud of the Ezeribe Foundation for taking this bold step. It is a clear demonstration of patriotism and love for our people. Let this be a call to action for others to follow,” he remarked.
With the support of leaders like Rt. Hon. Ibeh and Prince Chima Anyanwu, the future of Obowo looks brighter than ever. These young participants now have the tools to not only improve their own lives but to contribute meaningfully to the development of their community.
In conclusion, Rt. Hon. Ibeh emphasized the importance of learning and growth, encouraging the participants to make the most of the opportunity: “Learn, inspire, and excel. This is your moment to make a difference. Congratulations to all participants, and may God continue to bless the Ezeribe Foundation.”
