Niger Delta Youth Coalition applauds Bayelsa Govt. empowerment scheme
The Niger
Delta Youth Coalition for Peace and Progress (NDYCPP) on Thursday, applauded
the various youth empowerment schemes of the Bayelsa Government.
The
coalition, in a statement in Bayelsa on Thursday signed by Pastor
Olayinka Jude, its Acting National Chairman, said the development would
drastically reduce youth restiveness and restored peace in the state.
Jude
listed agricultural training and skill acquisition as some of the empowerment
schemes that would meaningfully engage the hitherto restive youths and redirect
their minds to productive ventures.
“We
commend Gov. Seriake Dickson for his persistent efforts in spreading the
dividends of democracy to the electorate, most especially the youth with
empowerment training initiatives and programmes.
“We urge
youths in the state to take advantage of these empowerment programmes that will
be of immense benefit to them, than doing things that would put them at the
wrong side of the law.
“We call
on youths of the state to join hands with the ’’Restoration Government’’ to
build an egalitarian society,’’ he said.
He said
with the empowerment schemes, ‘’peace and progress shall be the hallmark for
defining indices of effective and good governance performance with available
resources’’.
Jude also
expressed appreciation for Dickson’s transparent management of the scarce
financial resources accruing to the state.
He noted
that the monthly transparency briefing since the inception of the present
administration in the state had drawn applause from observers within and
outside Bayelsa.
Jude
further also said the transparency policy of the state reflected in the Paris
club loan refunds.He said the transparent manner the refunds were disbursed
among eight local government areas in the state showed that the governor was
working.
