At least 1,176 artisans in Etsako federal Constituency received toolkits from Anamero Dekeri, the House of Representatives member representing the area on the APC ticket from Edo State. The empowerment event took place on Wednesday in Okpella and covered beneficiaries across Etsako East, Etsako West, and Etsako Central local government areas. Recipients were trained in trades including hairdressing, farming, mechanics, and welding. Dekeri stated the initiative was aimed at improving skills and livelihoods, describing it as part of his commitment to economic empowerment.
Dekeri credited state political leaders for fostering an environment conducive to community impact. He emphasized that democracy must translate into tangible benefits for citizens. "I will continue to strive to create other opportunities that will make life worth living for our people," he said. He affirmed his singular focus at the National Assembly: serving the interests of his constituents. "I have no other business at the National Assembly than to serve your interest," Dekeri declared. He pledged continued interventions, confirming another large-scale empowerment programme is planned within the year. Local leaders and beneficiaries praised his delivery, with some expressing support for his re-election.
Anamero Dekeri's direct distribution of tools to 1,176 artisans bypasses the usual delays of government-driven schemes. This kind of targeted intervention puts resources quickly into the hands of workers who can immediately apply them. For Nigerians in Etsako, it signals a shift from promises to practical support in key livelihood trades. If replicated, such efforts could reshape expectations around constituency projects.
