Festus Amukpo is a graduate in Business Administration and Management who hails from Ethiope West LGA. He enrolled, trained and was established in the 2017/2018 STEP cycle in Audio-Visual Services. He is the CEO of Fechristo Production. He speaks on his journey so far after five years in business.

“The STEP programme impacted my life positively. STEP made me what I am today. I want to appreciate the Delta State Government for making me who I am today through this life changing initiative.  I got married, bought a car and I am a landlord of two buildings through the business I set up after my training.

“I have people who also work with me. At the end of every business, we divide the percentage of our income, and I can boldly say that what I make monthly is more than a civil servant’s four months salary.

“I have trained someone who is on his own and doing very well too. I currently have three persons who are trainees under me.”
