PDP's Emem Coffie Advocates Youth Training and Jobs

Engr. Emem Coffie, the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Akwa Ibom State, has called for enhanced industrial training and job opportunities for the youth in the state. He argues that the government should create practical pathways for young people to apply their education and skills effectively.

Coffie, a civil engineer with approximately 35 years of experience, stressed the importance of formal education in career development and national growth, warning against the perception that education is a waste of time. He has sponsored hundreds of students across Akwa Ibom, Enugu, and Abuja, driven by a commitment to youth development.

Coffie advocates for a system that allows young people to complete their university education early, identify their talents, and specialize in their careers without unnecessary delays. He also emphasizes that university education should not be the only route to success, urging government support for vocational training and entrepreneurship.
