Delta State Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan has given cash to 11 corps members who distinguished themselves in their primary assignments.

The governor announced the awards during the passing out of the 2012 Batch A corps members in Asaba.

He said the award was to encourage youths to channel their efforts towards self-employment.

“What we are doing is to assist corps members to establish businesses, especially viable businesses that have good feasibility studies.

“It is also to promote economic boom in the state because we will encourage the corps members to encourage our people.

“They should not go to their states to bring their own people because we will resist such a move. The condition is that they will employ our own people,” he said.

The company rewarded their efforts with scholarships worth N100,000 and above, at a ceremony hosted by BD Consult Ltd, a public relations firm penultimate week.

Congratulating the winners, Managing Director Mr Deepak Singhal said the aim of the competition was to encourage the artistic talent of the target audience – children aged five to 12.

“We started the competition last year in only Lagos. This year, we extended it to Abuja and we will still extend it to other states. This age group is very exciting. They are the future artists, so we need to nurture their talents,” he said.

Head of Marketing, Dufil Prima Foods, Mr Manpreet Singh, said the Mother Like no other art competition attracted about 80,000 entries from 2,000 schools in Lagos and Abuja. He said the decision to theme the art competition around mothers was to celebrate the bond they share with their children.

He said the entries were assessed by professional artists who sifted through the work to reward those that were originals.

“There is no stronger bond than the mother and child bond. Indomie decided to celebrate that bond with an art competition. The judges considered the idea behind the concept – how the pupils expressed love for their mothers, use of shades, and colours,” he said.
