Dimapur, Oct. 31 (EMN): With the objective to promote self-employment among the educated unemployed youth in 24 Angetyongpang assembly constituency, minister of Mechanical and Housing Tongpang Ozukum inaugurated a hair salon at Sungkomen ward in Mokokchung town on October 30.
Speaking at the inaugural programme of ‘Hairitage Saloon,’ Ozukum stated that the initiative was part of a ‘livelihood programme,’ which was kick-started to provide a platform for talented unemployed youth in Angetyongpang constituency. He expressed confidence that the initiative would not go in vain but bear fruits of success, an update from the press secretary to the minister Imliyanger Aier stated on October 31.
The minister also expressed his happiness on the successful operation of the two-wheeler taxi service at Alempang ward, which was earlier launched under the livelihood programme.
Challenging the youth, the minister said there is no shame or substitute for doing honest work and that every job is important as long as it elevates a person financially while utilising their God-given talents. He also encouraged the youth to take the lockdown period as a blessing in disguise and fill up the void created by the migrant workers all across the state.
The minister also promised to assist the two hair stylists — Sentiwabang and Sayumongba — of ‘Hairitage saloon’, saying that the Sungkomen unit (24 Angetyongpang AC Independent party) would look after their welfare for a period of time until they are settled in their new professional hair styling venture.
Limanungsang, chairman of Sungkomen ward, also spoke on the occasion.
