Youth Jobs and Overseas Training
According to the Council, a significant number of young people from Enugu state have obtained federal employment under Hon. Eze's watch, while others have participated in overseas programmes, professional training sessions, workshops, and seminars organised through his office. The NYCN described these interventions as life-changing, saying they had restored hope and helped develop a generation of young leaders with the capacity to contribute to national growth.
The youth body noted that Enugu youths had never benefited from the FCC on such a scale before, describing the commissioner's record as proof of purposeful, people-centred leadership.
Merit Over Godfatherism
A central theme in the NYCN's statement was the commissioner's commitment to fairness and transparency. The Council praised Hon. Eze for ensuring that access to opportunities was based on merit rather than political connections.
"Hon. Peter Eze has given hope to countless young people by proving that one does not need a political godfather to access opportunities and excel. His accessibility, fairness, and unwavering commitment to empowering ordinary youths have earned him the admiration and gratitude of the people," the statement read.
