Orji Kalu honours youths trained in Sam Okorie’s digital skills programme

Twelve youths from Igbere in Bende Local Government Area of Abia State who recently participated in the Digital Skill Youth Empowerment Programme sponsored by the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of Holafield Multiconcepts Nigeria Limited, Chief Sam Okorie, have received their certificates.

The 12 youths, trained in Data Analytics and Web Development by GetBundi Education Technology, received their certificates at an event held at Chief Okorie’s country home in Igbere, Abia State.

The former governor of Abia State and Senator representing Abia North in the National Assembly, Orji Uzor Kalu, personally handed them the certificates. Three graduates – Bernard Ukachukwu, Ikeweigh Emma, and Elijah Kalu – passed with distinction in Data Analytics.

Senator Kalu in his remarks called on all businessmen and women in Abia State and Nigeria to emulate Chief Okorie in educating the youths, especially in digital technology. He said though the government is doing a lot in this regard, it is Godly and an invaluable gift to humanity for the rich to be compassionate.

Speaking at the event which was graced by other dignitaries, including Chris Uche (SAN), Ezeogo Emeka Onuoha, Eze Uche I. C. Dimgba (Okpotemba 1 of Igbere), and HRH Eze M. I. Ukaogo, the traditional ruler of Eziama Igbere, the sponsor, Chief Okorie thanked GetBundi Education Technology for its dedication and commitment throughout the training.

Chief Okorie, who goes by the traditional title of Ihe 1 of Igbere, said that with the pace of development in digital technology in today’s world, digital skills acquisition is the way to go, and there is no better way to empower the youths than equipping them for the future.

Also speaking via the telephone, the founder of GetBundi Education Technology, Osita Oparaugo, thanked Chief Okorie for choosing GetBundi and venturing into a space most people ignore.

“There is no empowerment better than what you have done for these individuals. The skills they have learned will keep them busy and last as long as they live. You have made your brothers and sisters competitive. You didn’t give them fish, you have shown them how to fish. Well done,” Oparaugo said.

“To the graduates, there is nothing limiting you. Continue to build on what you have learned, and should you be interested in remote jobs, please let us know. God bless you all.”
