He pledged that his administration would create opportunities for youths to build a prosperous future for the state.

“This administration has engaged many youths with political appointments. We have also provided them with various skills to promote self-reliance and productivity.

“No fewer than 800 youth have been trained on paint- making, while many others have been trained as automobile technicians, some of whom have become employers of labour,” Buni said.
