    Speaking at the event, the Governor of Anambra State, Prof Charles Soludo, CFR, represented by the Commissioner for Industry, Christine Udechukwu commended the Ministry for the laudable initiative of equipping young Nigerians with skills to solve problems and create wealth.

    Also, the Chairman, Senate Committee on Steel, Senator Patrick Ndubueze, represented by Chief Etiebat Nwachukwu, said the Bootcamp Training should be an Annual Intervention Programme, stating that the Ministry will get legislative backing for it’s sustainability.

    He added that the programme represent Federal Government efforts to ensure continuous youth development to drive the progressive agenda.

    Earlier in his remarks, the Permanent Secretary, Dr. Chris Osa Isokpunwu stated that the programme was not just conceived as a training exercise, but as a platform to ignite dreams, shape ideas, and build a new generation of entrepreneurs in Nigeria’s metal and steel value chain.

    Dr. Chris sharing an inspiring story of a young man in a small town in Northern Nigeria who started a modest metal fabrication business with just one welding machine and a rented shed, going from door to door repairing gates, metal doors, and window protectors, and who with time, learned how to design security systems, began fabricating agricultural tools, and later diversified into building lightweight steel structures.

    Today, that young man owns a company that employs over 150 people, supplies steel products across three West African countries, and recently signed a contract with a local government to produce solar-powered kiosks for rural markets, he told the graduands, “the journey does not end here — in fact, this is where it truly begins”.

    The Director Metallurgical Inspectorate Department, Engr. Frederick Ewa, giving the overview of the bootcamp, disclosed that the initiative was not just a training programme but a movement, a clarion call to action, designed to catalyze the rebirth of Nigeria’s metals and steel sector by investing in its most invaluable resource: the youths.

    Engr. Ewa revealed that a staggering 258,833 applications were received across every state and region of the country, from which 700 youths were selected through a rigorous but transparent, merit-driven process.

    These young men and women were trained in four strenuous batches here at the Metallurgical Training Institute (MTI), Onitsha, a citadel of excellence in metallurgical education and practice. He enjoined the graduates to go out and ignite industries, illuminate communities, and forge the future Nigeria deserves.

    Also speaking, the General Course Rep. of the programme, Esemuede Omoruyi, appreciated the Federal Government for it’s resolute focus on human capital development and affirmed the graduates commitment to translate the investment into tangible progress, pledging that they will be dynamic contributors to a skilled, innovative and industrious country.
