The Cross River State government begun recruitment into its garment factory and Green Police.
The garment factory and the Green police are two of several opportunities designed by Governor Ben Ayade to create over a thousand jobs to mark his 100 days in office.
Ahead of its inauguration, the garment factory is expected to absorb several hundred women, mostly widows while the Green Police, a non-arm bearing organisation established to protect the state’s vast forest reserve and the environment, will employ about a thousand.
Ayade, while conceiving the two projects, said it was a more institutionalised way of empowering the people, noting that the era of giving out handouts was over.
Since the job vacancies for the two projects were advertised a few days ago, over 6,000 have submitted their resume to the Office of the Secretary to the State Government.
Ayade, upon his inauguration on May 29, 2015, had promised to rekindle hope by breaking the vicious of cycle of employment that had been the lot of the citizenry for sometime now.
“With the commencement of recruitment into the state’ garment factory and the Green Police, Cross River State youth and women, especially widows can now heave a sigh of relief as their situations look to be taking a turn for the better,” said a source.
