The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has splashed over 58,876 dollars (around 60 million naira) for table fish production in Anambra state.
The commission has also commenced training 150 youths for the project.
The managing director of Anambra State Fisheries and Aquaculture Business Development Agency (FABDA) and the programme coordinator in the state, Emeka Iloghalu, announced this on October 23, in Awka.
He said that the training was expected to last for about eight weeks.
He said that the training cut across ethnic, tribe, political, and religious affiliations, as trainees from Kaduna, Enugu, Imo, and Calabar were in attendance.
He said: “The beneficiaries are between the ages of 15-35 years and it is based on business and entrepreneurship. The programme is being sponsored by the ECOWAS and it is currently ongoing across 15 member countries.
“I call on unemployed youths in the state and country to key into the programme for self-reliance and become millionaires and billionaires.”
Iloghalu noted that at the end of the training, the successful trainees were expected to emerge as business leaders on their own.
