The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) sponsored the implementation of the entrepreneurship training and mentoring support program which targeted key Youth Leaders from the 9 Niger Delta States under the Federal Government’s Presidential Amnesty Program. The training was structured to rebuild confidence, mobilize local resources, as well as empower the participants to become self reliant, self sufficient and by so doing, create value and redevelop a sense of community and responsibility.
These virtues are instrumental to breaking the culture of dependence and associated restiveness and will drive the needed socioeconomic revival of the region.
