Caroline Tochukwu Nwosu, a serving member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in Bakassi local government area has flagged off a three weeks free skills acquisition training for Bakassi youths.

The training according to her will be intensive and is part of her personal contribution to the growth and development of her host community.

While speaking with our reporter, Caroline maintained that the program targets only Bakassi young people because of the challenges they face.

Her words: “Bakassi young people face unique challenges. They are rich in resources but poverty envelops them. They are not exposed to quality education and have high number of unskilled youth which necessitated this program”.
