The city of Aba erupted in uncontrollable jubilation as the ebullient Member Representing Aba North and South Federal Constituency, Hon. Mascot Alex Ikwechegh, popularly known as “Onye Ocha Na Aba”, empowered another group of young men and women through his ongoing Skill Acquisition and Empowerment Initiative.This development is part of the lawmaker’s broader effort to continue fulfilling his promise under the “5,000 Empowerment Scheme,” officially launched in November 2024. Since its launch, the scheme has continued to impact lives, providing skill training, startup tools, and financial support to hundreds of beneficiaries across diverse fields.
The latest beneficiaries, trained in tailoring, received essential startup support, including brand new sewing machines, toolkits, and financial backing, marking another significant step towards self-reliance and economic independence.
This initiative, which continues to touch lives across Aba North and South, reflects Hon. Ikwechegh’s undeterred commitment to youth empowerment, poverty reduction, and grassroots development. His pragmatic approach to leadership continues to create real opportunities for the people he represents
With each batch empowered, hope is rekindled, and the entrepreneurial city of Aba moves closer to becoming a hub of skilled, self-employed youth driving local innovation and industry.
Unarguably, Hon. Ikwechegh’s commitment to redefining the legislative business remains an irrefutable example of impact-driven representation.
