600 youths in Nsugbe community, have been empowered with materials worth over N80 million by the governorship candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2017 in Anambra State Tony Nwoye.
Some items donated by Nwoye include over 150 motorcycles, 200 sewing machines, 200 grinding machines and N6 million naira.
Nwoye said the gesture was part of his resolve to empower his people to reduce crime and unemployment.
He said he was disturbed each time he saw people, especially youths, roam the streets because they had no jobs.
