Commissioner for information in Anambra, Law Mefor, says no fewer than 60,000 youths have been trained in digital technology by the Governor Chukwuma Soludo administration.

Mr Mefor said this at the inauguration of Tell Your Neighbour About Solution (TYNAS) support group in Awka on Saturday.

TYNAS installed Mr Mefor, Pius Udo, a former Clerk of Anambra State House of Assembly and Titus Akpudo, immediate past chairman of the Association of Anambra State Town Unions, as their Patrons during the event.

Mr Mefor said the government targeted to train one million youths in its digital tribe creation initiative under the Solution Innovation District (SID) programme.

He said the governor was an achiever and a global citizen who had exceeded his manifesto through his legacy projects.

The commissioner said his ministry would produce a scorecard flyer for the group to help them go about their campaign activities.

“Soludo administration has trained 60,000 youths in digital skills for free. This is a training that is valued at an average of N3.5 million per student

“Soludo is not constructing political roads but roads that are designed for 20 years. You do not need to tell lies about Soludo, you do not need propaganda to campaign for him, he is a global product.

“All his achievements are legacy projects, he is implementing free education, free healthcare, these are not in his manifesto and he has done all these without borrowing.

“We will win this election free and fair, the job of TYNAS is going to be at the polling units,” he said.

Speaking at the event, Emeka Mbagha, convener and director-general of TYNAS, said Mr Soludo had done well in his first term and deserved to be returned for a second term.

Mr Mbagha said the governor had executed numerous game-changing projects while in office and charged members to go to their homesteads and spread the good news.

He said Mr Soludo had exceeded expectations through his road infrastructure, free education, free antenatal care and merit-based massive recruitment.

According to him, Mr Soludo is blessed to live a good life as a person, but he has decided to use it for the good of humanity

“Let us go forth and talk to our communities, our age grades, non-indigenes, that Soludo has done well and deserves a second term.

“We have decided to key into this gift of God to humanity by spreading the message, the reward for government work is more work,” he said.

Also speaking, Mr Udo, another patron of the group, said Mr Soludo came prepared for the task and he hit the ground running in governing Anambra.

According to him, Mr Soludo started with Okpoko, and we all see the difference today.

“He has done well, he deserves a second term, our campaign for him is based on conviction and not for benefits,” he said.
