I am Mr. Nwaoha, Joshua Chimeremeze. First and foremost, I must thank God for His loving-kindness towards us all.
Previously, I tried everything humanly possible to enroll in skills training, but I failed because there was no one to sponsor me. It wasn’t until I received information about NNAUSA that I applied for their program, and after some months, I was fortunate to be among the beneficiaries.
God, through NNAUSA, answered my prayers. Consequently, the funds I obtained from NNAUSA were a profound blessing to my entire life and to those around me.
To all the members of NNAUSA, may God bless and keep you all, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
I am Ms. Oluebere Nwaokonko, from Umuogele Nvosi, Isiala Ngwa South Local Government Area, Abia State. I am so delighted and thankful to be among the beneficiaries of the NNAUSA program. During my apprenticeship, it wasn’t easy for me, but I was determined to make it work by putting in my best and also to make the NNAUSA family proud.
I benefited a lot from the program; I was able to start a business and pay for shop rent. I hope to achieve more in the future through this initiative. This program offers a clear path for any youth who is truly committed to self-improvement to achieve their dreams in life, provided they responsibly utilize the support for its intended purpose. Once again, thank you to the great NNAUSA family. May God bless you more.
I am Ms. John Nkiruka Olewe, from Obingwa, Umuokahia 1.
I am truly enjoying this apprenticeship program and am incredibly grateful for the profound impact it’s having on my growth.
Through this invaluable opportunity, I’ve learned a wealth of knowledge in fashion design, which notably includes developing crucial skills like building my self-confidence and fostering a greater sense of independence.
I am deeply thankful to NNAUSA for providing such a transformative platform and for believing in my potential.
My name is Mr. Adikwu Nathaniel, from Umuadikwu Village in Ugwunagbor Local Government Area. I am currently undergoing an enriching apprenticeship focused on the sales of diverse electrical materials. This comprehensive training includes hands-on experience with products such as PVC pipes, distribution boards, ceiling fittings, chandeliers, industrial changeovers, and many other related items crucial for modern electrical systems.
My Vision: Empowering Ngwa Youth
Upon the successful completion of my apprenticeship program, if I am fortunate enough to establish my own shop, my commitment is to teach Ngwa youths for free. Drawing from my existing expertise in electrical wiring, solar installation, and CCTV systems, I will extend this free training to cover both sales techniques and practical installation skills. This initiative will serve as an invaluable advantage, equipping them with sought-after trades and fostering self-reliance within our community.
My name is Mr. Iheonunekwu Amalaha, from Umuosi Village, Isiahaba Autonomous Community, Isiala Ngwa South.
Through the invaluable support of this great association, I have successfully completed my training and have proudly acquired my first sewing machine. I am profoundly grateful to NNAUSA for their unwavering assistance and for empowering me with this vital skill.
Looking ahead, I am now eagerly seeking opportunities to secure the funds necessary to rent a shop, an investment of N220,000 per year.
If I am able to establish my business, it will not only solidify my livelihood but, more importantly, enable me to extend this empowerment to other youths within my community, fostering a cycle of skill development and opportunity.
My name is Mr. Ogbonna Marachi Morris, and I am a native of Amankpa in Aba Ukwu Autonomous Community, Aba South Local Government Area.
I am currently undergoing a tiling apprenticeship program. First and foremost, I want to express my sincere gratitude to NNAUSA for this incredible opportunity to participate in their program. I have been actively engaged in my tile installation apprenticeship for months, and this experience has been both rewarding and educational. It has allowed me to significantly develop my skills in various aspects of tiling work, such as: Tile preparation, Surface preparation, Adhesive preparation, Tile layout and design, Grouting, and safety protocols
This training has also helped in enhancing my efficiency in [specific area, e.g., cutting tiles accurately] and in developing strong time management skills to complete installations within projected timelines.
This program offers immense benefits to other Ngwa youths because it equips them with valuable skills, opens doors to meaningful careers, fosters personal growth, and provides a clear pathway to financial independence. It truly represents a positive investment in their future. Thank you.
