Some of the items given out.

Ricketts who was accompanied by A. Oni, Principal Manager, Corporate Affairs, NPA headquarters, Chijioke Ukadike, Head, Corporate Strategic Communication, NPA Calabar, and Abdullahi Bawa, Snr. Manager, Audit, also informed that, the scope of the scheme will be expanded to further support skill acquisition, viable business start-ups and create an enabling environment for the expansion of this start-ups as a sustained way of tackling unemployment.

Some beneficiaries from Boki LGA, who had travelled all the way to Ugep, venue of the event, thanked NPA and Ricketts in particular for midwifing a process that has helped ameliorate their sufferings. They prayed that God will sustain the Chairman in office and grant him the wisdom to do more especially for Cross Riverians in particular and the nation in general.
