Senator Ede Dafinone has flagged off a three-week intensive training programme on scaffolding and rigging for selected youths drawn from across Delta Central Senatorial District.
The programme, facilitated by the senator’s office and implemented by the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board, is aimed at equipping participants with practical vocational skills for employment opportunities in the oil and gas, construction, and industrial sectors.
In a statement issued on Friday, Senator Dafinone said the initiative underscores his commitment to youth empowerment through skills acquisition and sustainable economic opportunities across Delta Central.
According to him, participants for the programme emerged through a rigorous application and screening process conducted over the past six months to ensure transparency and merit in the selection exercise.
He noted that the training is designed to promote self-reliance, productivity, and long-term career development among beneficiaries, while also preparing them for opportunities in key sectors of the economy.
The lawmaker expressed optimism that the initiative would contribute meaningfully to reducing unemployment and improving livelihoods in communities across Delta Central Senatorial District.
