Three persons from Ukanafun/Oruk Anam Federal Constituency in Akwa Ibom are set to depart for China to undergo advanced training on Investment, Financing and Capital Operations.
The beneficiaries are the 21st batch of the 1,000 youths sponsored by Dr. Unyime Idem, member representing the Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives.
This was after the House of Representatives member had surpassed the initial target of 100 youths trained overseas.

The three trainees are; Edidiong Israel Umanah, Lovelyn Donald and Nseobong Brownson Ekarika.
The all-expense-paid foreign advanced training initiative is a huge commitment aimed at exposing Akwa Ibom youths to relevant skills needed for optimum efficiency and global competitiveness.
Addressing the beneficiaries at a brief send-forth ceremony at his Abuja office, Idem said the gesture is to equip and raise the next generation of leaders in Akwa Ibom State, with requisite knowledge and certification to play at the global stage.
He reminded the beneficiaries that ”the world is a global village, so there’s need for them to be exposed to modern technology to be able to compete with their counterparts globally, so wherever they have an opportunity to work, they will not lag behind.
”I have taken this step because what is helping me today to record these milestones is the series of trainings and exposure I’ve garnered over the years across the globe, and it is my desire that they will do better than me.”
Part of the “Letter of Nomination and Sponsorship to Training in China,” to the beneficiaries, reads “As a participant in the training, you’re entitled to a travelling allowance, but beyond that, your experience there will put you on a pedestal to compete favourably with your counterparts across the globe.”
The National Lawmaker advised them to be of good conduct as an ambassador of Akwa Ibom state and the country.
“I wish you a safe stay throughout the training period and journey mercies, to and from China. Congratulations,” he added.
