The commissioner, who said the state government had increased its empowerment schedule to ebonyi youth in other states of the federation including Sokoto, Kaduna, Anambra and Lagos, added that over 3000 youths had so far been empowered in the State.
According to him, the state government was set to create 12,000 jobs through the empowerment of these youths, including women as they are currently being given N250, 000 each to start up any business of their choice so that they will become economically self-sufficient.

This came as
Directorate of States, DOS, of IPOB accused former Governor of Abia
State, Chief Orji Uzor Kalu, of sabotaging the agitation for the
restoration of Biafra, urging him to rethink because those who have
played similar roles against IPOB in the past regretted it.
In a related development, Movement for Actualization of Sovereign State
of Biafra, MASSOB, yesterday, described some lawyers that protested
against Biafra agitation as “charge and bail lawyers.”
Ebonyi begins registration of IPOB members
The state Commissioner for Economic Empowerment and Job Creation,
Uchenna Orji, stated this in Abakaliki while briefing newsmen on the
activities of the current administration in the area of youth
empowerment.
He said the current administration, apart from pursuing the action plan
of making the IPOB members economically independent, the initiative
would also help in reducing social vices and other forms of criminality
currently plaguing the society.
The commissioner, who said the state government had extended its
empowerment schemes to Ebonyi youths in other states of the federation,
including Sokoto, Kaduna, Anambra and Lagos, added that over 3000 youths
had so far been empowered in the state.
He said: “The IPOB youths are being registered in the Department of
Education and Social Welfare in the LGAs. After their capturing, the
state government will create a programme to train and empower them in
their chosen career .”
IPOB accuses Kalu of sabotaging Biafra struggle
In a statement from IPOB’s Directorate Of State, signed by Chinasa
Nworu, the group alleged that Chief Kalu had demonstrated time without
number and tried so hard and failed to induce its leader, Mazi Nnamdi
Kanu, with billions of naira bribe for him to jettison the Biafra
struggle.
IPOB alleged that the former “governor was disappointed by our leader’s
uncompromising posture and he now decided to vent his frustration by
claiming to know how Mazi Nnamdi Kanu developed wings and flew out of
Biafraland to London via Malaysia.
“The point here is how would it be? Of all people, it is Orji Kalu that
announced to the whole world the escape route of a person he claimed is
his brother. It is not surprising because he is trying so hard to
impress his slave masters and cover up the whereabouts of our leader who
is missing after the military invaded his home in Afaraukwu in Umuahia.
“He has continually partook in the conspiracy act to destroy his people
just for his own selfish gains, even when he has been hustling to be
relevant with Biafra struggle, but we never allowed him because we all
know he is an agent of the Hausa-Fulani and the British government.”
MASSOB blasts anti-Biafra lawyers, Okechukwu
MASSOB in a reaction also chided Director-General of Voice of Nigeria,
VON, Mr. Osita Okechukwu, for throwing punches at the President-General
of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Nnia Nwodo.
A group, League of African Democratic Lawyers, led by one John Oboh, had
protested at the American Embassy in Nigeria over the rising
agitation for Biafra.
But MASSOB in a reaction to the protest said it was a faceless group
who through their actions gave themselves out as “nothing but charge
and bail lawyers who do not know the meaning of democracy.
“How can qualified and well-trained lawyers protest against a
self-determination group. Can these lawyers define the meaning of
democracy? It is a pity that these so-called lawyers were paid by the
Federal Government to protest,” Samuel Edeson, MASSOB spokesman said.
The group insisted that if the anti-Biafra protesters were really busy
lawyers, they would not have had time for such charade.
MASSOB also condemned attack on President -General of Ohanaeze, Chief
Nwodo by VON boss, Mr. Osita Okechukwu.
MASSOB said it will not sit and watch people like Osita Okechukwu insult
Igbo leaders.
The group said: “Mr Okechukwu who prefers to be a servant should go
ahead and serve Buhari and his APC. A hungry man and a slave will always
do what his master asks him to do.
“We, Ndigbo know that Osita Okechukwu is just a puppet whom President
Buhari wants to use to divide Ndigbo but it cannot work. Hundreds of
Osita Okechukwus are no match for one Nnia Nwodo.”
Negotiate with IPOB to avert chaos, Yoruba group advises FG
Meantime, a Pan-Yoruba socio-political group, Atayese, has cautioned the
Federal Government on the handling of IPOB crisis, urging that
negotiation should be embraced to avert a chaotic situation in the
eastern part of the country.
Atayese, in the statement made available to Vanguard, yesterday, by its
national chairman, Chief Tokunbo Ajasin, said the calls for
restructuring are very crucial at this stage and was happy that the
APC, in control of the Federal Government, has already taken the right
step by instituting a public hearing for presentation of memoranda to
its committee on true federalism.
He, however, warned that this matter should not be treated as a mere
distraction, but a strong move towards the fulfillment of the party’s
manifesto.
He equally advised members of the IPOB to follow constitutional means to
achieve their goals, adding that the violent steps being used would
make their agitations less effective because they would not only lose
the sympathy of the people but they would play into the hands of
government might.
