Youths across the Federation have been urged to seize the opportunities recently provided by the Minister of Youth Development, Comrade Ayodele Olawande to improve their livelihood and achieve their aspirations through the launching of Youth Farmers enrolment portal.
A chieftain of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State, Hon. Dada Eminence made the call on Monday while reacting to the portal recently conceived and launched by the Minister aiming at creating 6 million economic opportunities in the Agriculture, Food, Beverages and Agro-Allied Sectors for Youths from 18 to 35 years.
Hon. Eminence commended the Minister for the initiative which he said would mark a watershed in Youth Inclusiveness in Governance in the country.
He said if Nigerian Youths keyed into the project, which the Minister said include Agricultural Training Programmes, modern farming techniques, mentorship opportunities, financial support and resources to start off or boost their agricultural ventures, there would be drop in unemployment rate and increase in food production.
Hon. Eminence, therefore, described the project as laudable urging Youths in the country to support the Minister in the implementation of the project.
The APC chieftain also commended the Minister for the newly commissioned National Youth Service Corps(NYSC) Digital Museum of Dynamic History and Television Studio, which was launched by the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu. He appreciated the giant stride taken by the Minister in creating a source that would document the history, innovations and contributions of Youths to the nation’s development over the years
