“This visit is to ensure that the Council and the Ministry are in sync with respect to the laudable intentions we have for the upcoming Wazobia Cultural Fiesta and Talent Hunt.

Responding, Commissioner Aghamba assured of his support and that of his Ministry towards the event, expressing optimism that the event would positively engage the minds of the young people.
“The Soludo administration is intentional about what it wants to achieve with the youths in Anambra. The results are everywhere.
“Mr Governor has done a lot for Anambra youths- through the One Youth Two Skills initiative and other programs that have empowered our youths to be self-reliant and independent.
“The vision to create one thousand youth millionaires annually is alive through these programs and we can only be grateful to the governor for his strategic plans.
“I want to assure the Youth Council that the Ministry is solidly behind them in any venture that will complement what the government is doing to make lives better for the youths.”
The Wazobia Cultural Fiesta and Talent Hunt initiative is in line with the vision of the Chukwuma Soludo administration to promote Anambra as a safe haven for creative ventures.
