Good People of Abia: our Governor, His Excellency Dr. Alex Otti, has given us a mission, to design and implement technology-driven skill acquisition centres across the state. The Board and Management have been working quietly, methodically, and with deep conviction. By early next year, the first results of that labour will begin to emerge.
But before we unveil, I want to hear from you, our young men and women, the dreamers and doers of Abia. Yes, one question: what skills do you believe you need to thrive today?
This is not about going to school or earning a certificate. This is about real capabilities. Yes, skills that can make someone pay you, or that can help you create and grow something meaningful. The coat of arms of our beloved Abia bears the words “Prosperity Through Enterprise.” For those words to come alive, our people must be skilled. Our prosperity will not come from speeches or slogans, but from hands that can build, minds that can code, and hearts that can create value.

When our Governor speaks, he brings clarity, making it clear that skills open doors. A people of skill are a people of power. Let us, therefore, shape our programmes to align with the realities of the marketplace, both local and global. Share with us the areas that matter to you: energy, AI, digital enterprise, creative industry, construction, agriculture, or others.
As we listen and build, we also invite partners, both local and global, to walk this journey with us. Our Director General of the Abia State Technological Skills Acquisition Centre (ATSAC), Engr. Peter Ukonu (LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/pukonu/?originalSubdomain=uk ), embodies that “can-do” Abia spirit. Reach out to him or to me directly.
Together, let us give our young people the skills that empower, the knowledge that transforms, and the courage to create prosperity for all Abians and Africans.

Chairman, Abia State Technological Skills Acquisition Centre (ATSAC)
