Delta State Commissioner for Youth Development, Barr. Thankgod Harry Trakiriowei has challenged youths to use their digital talents on social media and online communities to enhance development of Delta and society in general.
Trakiriowei gave the advice, yesterday, during a briefing on the occasion of the International Youth Day (IYD) in his office in Asaba. He said digital clicks such as social media and online communities allows young people to share innovative solutions to pressing issues and developing technological wise solutions for overall development of society.
According to him, the theme of the annual youth celebration day; “From Clicks To Progress: Youth Digital Pathway For Sustainable Development” gives them the opportunity to celebrate and mainstream young voices, actions and initiatives.
He said the year’s theme has its background in digital clicks toward achieving sustainable development goals.
Tarikiriowei said the MORE Agenda of the governor was not just a policy framework but a bold declaration of his aspiration for a better, brighter Delta.
He assured Deltans of the ministry’s open door policy, adding that youths should be expectant of the dividends of democracy via empowerment that will run through the 25 local government areas, as the return of RYSA and STEP was about to start.
In commemoration of the annual celebration, the commissioner said that the ministry will be having a physical fitness walk and a conference to mark this year’s theme.
