The state deputy Governor, Rt. Hon. Ude Oko Chukwu, who represented Governor Okezie Ikpeazu, said that the center was in line with the administration’s pledge to offer technical and vocational training to 100,000 unemployed Abia youths to enable them acquire the necessary skills for self reliance and wealth creation.

In his remarks, Ezengwa while commending the gesture by the Dangote group in funding the building of the center, explained that the center would provide job seekers with necessary information on available jobs, where they are, how to apply and prepare Curriculum Vitae.
He further explained that the Dangote Job Center has six functions, namely: to provide continuous updates of the data of unemployed youths and other relevant demographics; support job seekers to access E4E Job portal and other recruitment systems; funding opportunities for entrepreneurs; prepare and support youths for job interviews and or presentation of proposals for contracts, among others.
