Dr Charles Amanze, the Eze-elect of Nsirimo Amaise Autonomous Community, Abia, has urged the youths to engage in personal development, for a distinctive value addition to excel.
He gave the advice at a one-day capacity building for youths at Ugochinyerenwa Palace, Umunnelu Nsirimo, Umuahia South Local Government Area, Abia.
The seminar tagged “Unlocking human potential: Strategies for personal growth and self-improvement,” was organised by Eze Amadioha Nsirimo Foundation.
He enjoined the youths to embark on a journey of self-discovery and transformation by acquiring the required education and necessary skills that would enable them to function perfectly in any part of the world.
“As is clear to all, in our world today, acquiring education, even up to university level, is no longer the only qualification you need to succeed.
“This is because the labour market is saturated and only those with exceptional, professional skills manage to find a place for themselves or become self-employed,” Amanze said.
He explained that the training tailored to sensitise the youths on personal development, aligned with the goals of Gov. Alex Otti-led administration.
According to him, Otti’s government is geared towards providing training opportunities for youths to improve their capacity, productivity and efficiency, as well as have them meaningfully engaged.
Amanze, the Ohazurume Amadioha 1 of Nsirimo, called on philanthropists and the wealthy in the society to invest part of their resources into the development and transformation of the youths through trainings and empowerment.
In his new year message, Amanze urged the youths to be hopeful, nurture their passion and cultivate a sense of purpose that would drive them forward towards a perfect man.
“Don’t be afraid to take risks, to try new things, and to push beyond your comfort zone,” he advised.
A participant, Mr Kenneth Enyiocha, expressed gratitude to the organisers, saying that the training impacted positively on him.
He said: “The resource person, Dr Charles Amanze, has empowered me and other participants with the thought of diversification.
“He taught us the power of goal setting, emotional intelligence, building positive habit, prioritising self-care, personal development and other strategies that we need to succeed in life.”(NAN)
