She added: “This is part of Azura’s Livelihood Restoration Programme. They want to enhance the living standards of residents in their host community. We are introducing what we call cluster management. The four persons being trained in each of the trade areas would work together and provided with starter packs. They would get a space and equipment to work together for one year, during which their progress would be closely monitored.”

Managing Director, Azura-Edo, Edu Okeke, said: “Azura-Edo is committed to powering homes across Nigeria as well as improving lives and livelihoods. Through our ‘Power To Change’ initiative, Azura’s CSR vehicle, we implement transformative social programmes aimed at bringing positive change to lives of people in our host communities and across Nigeria.

“Therefore, Azura is pleased to partner with Edo Jobs to implement this rigorously planned programme geared towards improving the livelihoods of 35 people from our host communities by equipping them with vocational skills that will turn them into business owners.”
