The Delta State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission, DESOPADEC, Wednesday launched its Skill Acquisition Academy as part of measures to build human capacity and encourage entrepreneurs across the state.

The Delta State Governor, Dr Ifeanyi Okowa, who represented by his Deputy, Deacon Kingsley Otuaro while addressing the matriculants reinstated the resolve of the state government to roll out more youths and women empowerment programmes in order to reduce unemployment in the state.

The governor who recalled that early in his administration a bill was sent to the State House of Assembly seeking approval to enable government set up a Technical and Vocational Board, observed that the high rate of unemployment across the country can be drastically reduced through job and wealth creation programmes.

Okowa said to further show the seriousness of his skill and wealth creation drive, the government immediately commenced the construction and reconstruction of moribund vocational centres across the state with the aim of engaging youths and women meaningfully and making them self reliant.

He commended the board of DESOPADEC for the skills academic initiative and challenged the students to take advantage of the programme to acquire skills that will enable them to contribute their quota to the development of the society and add value to their lives.
