Imo NDE Coordinator, Ngozi Ihenacho, who represented him said the 540 trainees, 180 persons from three zones, earlier benefitted from the Basic Business Training.<\/p>\n

He explained that the ESPW was an offshoot of the Public Works Programme organised to capture 774,000 nationwide.<\/p>\n

The official said the initiative was established to address unemployment in the country.<\/p>\n

Ihenacho hailed President Muhammadu Buhari for the \u201cstep in the right direction\u201d to assist the lower class.<\/p>\n

\u201cI urge you participants to show commitment and take instructions from trainers\u201d, NAN quoted him as saying.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose who perform well will have a chance of receiving grants for either start-up of new businesses or enhancement of existing ones.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also on Thursday, the government said in the past two months, N58 billion has been shared to Nigerians under Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT).<\/p>\n
