Delta State will on Saturday, February 19, 2022 play host to Young Professionals in the event of the 2nd Niger Delta Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise Summit, scheduled to hold at the Arona Hall of Sweet Spirit Hotel in Asaba, from 10:00 Am – 5:00 PM.

The event which is organized by the Niger Delta Young Professionals (NDYP), is a sequel to the pioneer edition held in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State Capital in February last year. A statement issued by organizers of the Summit led by the convener, Moses Siloko Siasia said Saturday’s event is aimed at consolidating on the gains of the inaugural edition.

According to the organizers, the event is timely and apt, and is needed to change the narrative of the Niger Delta, by strategically engaging the youths to dissuade their minds from violence, drug abuse, cultism, and other criminal vices.

While stressing that this kind of event is needed in the region, Mr Siloko harped that other states in the oil-rich region must now take a cue from states like Delta, Akwa Ibom and Edo in driving human capacity development.

The organizers also bemoaned that governments in the region are guilty of paying less attention to the youths and are more interested in awarding contracts, rather than building human capacity.

“Even the success story of the Presidential Amnesty Programme has not been far reached because there is no well thought out strategic evaluation process.

“The culture of entrepreneurship is paramount to the peculiarity of the situation of the Niger Delta,” Siloko avowed.

Stakeholders supporting the Summit include the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), led by its Governor, Godwin Emefiele, who is from Delta State; Heritage Bank Chaired by Ifie Sekibo; the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB), and the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) led by Mr Effiong Akwa.

The statement added that this year’s event will: “Foster increased support from partners as well as focus on the need to forge a robust partnership with the Presidential Amnesty Programme to further expand the outcome of the Niger Delta MSME Summit.

“Ensure robust representation from the office of the Vice President, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and State Governments within the Niger Delta Region.

“Expand NDYP’s reach to Financial Sector and IOCs operating within the Region.”

In the inaugural Summit last year, over 300 Niger Deltans who participated benefited from the NIRSAL intervention loan for small business owners.
