DTSG Determine To Empower Youths



Delta State Commissioner for Youth Development, Mr. Ebifa Ijeoma, has reiterated government continuous effort in creating employment for the teeming youths of the state towards making them self-reliant.

Mr. Ijeoma stated this while briefing the press in Asaba on the activities of his ministry.

He said that the Directorate of Youth Development would continue to ensure the involvement of youths in decision making, leadership, community based and other developmental programmes, particularly in matters affecting them through the provision of necessary services to them as well as creating a platform for town hall meetings with the youths.

The commissioner stated that through the activities of the directorate, the attention of the youths had been re-directed from restiveness to proper harnessing of their energy towards the success of the Uduaghan led-administration.

Mr. Ijeoma said that government through the directorate had been able to restore peace in Ndokwa East, Warri and other areas where there was crisis in the past.

He decried the negative attitude of some politicians who, after using the youths during electioneering campaign abandoned them, adding that the development was not the best for the nation’s democracy.

The Youth Commissioner disclosed that the Directorate of Youth Development would create a platform for human capital development of the youths so as to meet the manpower needed for industrialization with a view to realizing a Delta beyond Oil.


Mr. Ijeoma said that by 2013, the state would experience a different crop of young men and women who would be identified as beneficiaries of Uduaghan’s Youth Development Initiatives in the state.
