The GFO Orim Foundation, led by Chief Martin Orim, has provided business startup kits and training to 45 individuals from the Bekwara, Obanliku and Obudu Federal Constituency, in its sixth edition empowerment program.

The program was held at the Obudu Council Secretariat in Cross River State, in collaboration with the Industrial Training Fund (ITF). 35 young teen mothers and at-risk girls received beauty care business startup kits, while 15 individuals, including one girl, received solar installation business startup kits.

Chief Martin Orim, the Chairman of GFO Orim Foundation, congratulated the beneficiaries during the event and expressed gratitude to the ITF for their continued collaboration. He also encouraged the ITF to keep its doors open for future partnership opportunities. Chief Orim urged the beneficiaries to use the skills and resources provided to them by the foundation to create wealth.

Chief Orim explained that his foundation’s continuous empowerment is motivated by his desire to support the less privileged and keep youth away from criminal activities. After facing difficulties in the Nigerian system, he decided to establish a foundation to give back to society. He encouraged the beneficiaries to use their acquired skills to succeed, emphasizing that skill empowerment is essential for wealth creation. He thanked the Voice Foundation for their support in selecting the beneficiaries and urged them to monitor the trainees’ progress.

The Chairman of the event, Hon Engr Thomas Aruku, a member of the Ogoja House of Assembly, acknowledged that he has been part of the program for six years. He applauded Chief Orim’s consistency in running the program for the sixth consecutive time and noted that the empowerment has rekindled hope in beneficiaries who had lost hope after giving birth at a young age. Aruku assured the beneficiaries of mentorship and support.

Engr Sulieman, the Industrial Training (ITF) Director, stated that the training was rigorous but beneficial for the beneficiaries. He tasked the beneficiaries to use their skills to contribute positively to society.

Hon Sylvester Agabi Jnr, the Deputy Speaker, the Bekwara Community Relations Officer to Governor Bassey Otu Patrick Oko, the Obudu Chapter Chairman of the All Progressive Congress, Mr Hilary Ibli, and other stakeholders present at the event commended Chief Orim’s developmental initiative. They urged the beneficiaries to pray for Chief Orim’s continuous blessings and to keep working towards reducing the crime rate in society.

Mr Okaku Isaac, one of the beneficiaries, thanked Chief Orim for adding value to their lives through training and empowerment. He noted that with the empowerment, Chief Martin Orim had succeeded in turning people from the streets into self-employed persons. He prayed for God’s blessing upon Chief Orim.
