People Democratic Party (PDP) aspirant for the House of Representatives in Zango/Jaba Federal Constituency, Hon. Gideon Jock has organized a workshop, yesterday, in Zonkwa, for 200 people in the constituency. The workshop was sponsored by Wadata Group Limited and facilitated by ECWA International College Technology (EICT), Jos, Plateau State, where every participant was given an Android 4G (Samsung) phone and N20, 000 cash.
According to jock, the workshop was aimed at empowering participants on “Utilizing Digital Marketing Platforms for Business Growth.”
What we did today is about digital marketing platforms for business growth to empower people for a better tomorrow. The programme was designed by ECWA International College of Technology, Jos, Plateau State, it is aimed at teaching our people how to use their phones to develop personal businesses for themselves, how to use their phones to advertise their products, how to also know that their phones are not only meant for talking and sending messages alone, but they can use their phones to become rich.
If 30% of the participants will put the skill they have acquired into use, I will be satisfied. This programme is not about politics but, growing the people, I started doing this a long time ago.
The Special Guest of Honour, Hon. Sunday Marshal Katung, represented by Edward Masha, Chairman PDP Stakeholders Forum of Jema’a Local Government and Zone 3 Coordinator for Rt. Hon. Isa Ashiru’s campaign team poured encomium on Hon. Gideon Jock.
Saying, Gideon is a man with a good heart. I know Gideon for so many years and I know what he can do. He is somebody who can go the extra mile to satisfy you. He has the same characteristics as Sunday Marshal Katung. Gideon is someone I can give testimony on him anywhere I go and I know if elected he will do much more than we expected. Adding that the reward of politicians is here on earth and this kind of programme is part of the reward.
PDP Chairman-elect, Hon. Philip Gwada said the people of the Zango/Jaba constituency are thankful to Jock for bringing a programme that will impact positively on the people.
“Gideon gathered us here not to feed us with fish but, to teach us how to catch fish. There is a Chinese saying: “if you want to feed a nation for a day, sow Rice, if you want to feed a nation for some years, plant a tree but if you want to feed a nation forever, plant people. And the latter is exactly what Gideon is doing. Since the time I know Gideon he has been in the act of raising people,” has said.
