Programme Objectives
Chief Dr. Philip Agbese’s “Batch B ICT Training and Empowerment Programme” addresses several critical objectives:
- Skill Development for Employment
The primary goal is to equip beneficiaries with ICT skills relevant to a modern job market. Basic computer literacy, internet navigation, Microsoft Office, and digital marketing are some of the focal areas covered, helping recipients to be better prepared for various employment opportunities. - Promoting Economic Independence
The 50,000 Naira financial support and a new laptop will enable beneficiaries to either pursue further training or kick-start small businesses. By promoting economic independence, the programme strengthens local economies. - Enhancing Community Development
With a strong foundation in ICT, the beneficiaries can contribute to the development of their communities, whether by joining local businesses, offering freelance services, or sharing digital skills with peers, further spreading knowledge and opportunity. - Bridging the Digital Divide

1. Digital Transformation in Local Businesses
Many small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in these communities face challenges due to limited digital know-how. With newly trained beneficiaries, local businesses can gain skilled individuals capable of handling digital operations, improving productivity, and enhancing market reach.

With the support of Chief Dr. Philip Agbese and their new resources, many participants are likely to continue their studies or pursue additional technical certifications, enhancing their employability further.
4. Reduced Unemployment and Improved Standard of Living
Through this initiative, many young individuals who previously lacked access to technology are now equipped for various roles in data entry, administration, digital marketing, and more. Such skills directly reduce unemployment rates and improve living standards within the constituency.
5. Strengthening Community Cohesion
As participants collaborate and share their new skills with peers, the programme builds a supportive network that fosters unity, mutual assistance, and shared growth. In this way, the program transcends individual benefits, creating a more connected and progressive community.
