CHIEF Executive Officer (CEO) of the Kefiano Foundation,, Chief Wungak Kefas Ropshak, has disclosed that the foundation was set to launch “Plateau Creative Hub”, an initiative that would help train younger generation in being independent at the end of next month in Jos, Plateau State capital.
He disclosed this while in an interview with SUNDAY STANDARD shortly after presenting his keynote address at the Myrole Conference: Present and Future Plateau, organised by Myrole Aid Mission, held at the conference hall of Crest Hotel and Gardens, Jos, the state capital recently.
The CEO said, “It is a reality, it has come to stay. We are going to launch the Creative Hub at the end of November this year. Everybody is invited as I said before. It is a Creative Hub and my personal initiative. I do not just talk, but do the talk as you always know me.
“I want to see how we can train the younger generation to be independent because it is key. It is going to help a whole lot in reducing criminality in the society as far as I am concerned. It is also going to reduce a full burden even to me who is spending money to help people in due course, if other people are doing well.
“This is a reality that I intend to achieve by the grace of God and I am going to launch it in November. By January, I will start going to every Local Government to train not than hundred (100) youths in the area of Information Technology (IT). That is my intention by the grace of God”, he disclosed.
Ropshak, however, clarified that he was not doing it for any political reason, but was out of his desire and resolve to ensure that Plateau youths were engaged in the private sector, because most Plateau children grew up to know their parents as civil servants.
“So, I thought there is the need to create this awareness in the private sector because whether you like it or not, a public worker still come back to the private sector. I also see it that it is never a waste to invest in humanity. It is my dream!”, the CEO enthused.
He, therefore, called on the Plateau youths to key into this great opportunity and be independent because entrepreneurship would soon rule the world since there is gradual drop in employment opportunities for them these days.
