  "summary": "The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) has reaffirmed its dedication to empowering youths through advanced training in fashion and garment design, with the aim of fostering economic growth in the Niger Delta region. At a recent graduation ceremony in Port Harcourt, the commission's Managing Director, Dr Samuel Ogbuku, announced that 30 youths had graduated from the fashion design training, selected from a pool of 100 participants based on their competence and passion for the industry. Ogbuku emphasized the importance of utilizing the skills acquired to become self-reliant entrepreneurs and urged the beneficiaries to draw inspiration from their training consultant, Greg Daniel. Additionally, the NDDC plans to expand its training programs to include artificial intelligence and other technology-related skills, recognizing technology as a crucial avenue for addressing unemployment and preparing young people for the future.",
