THE Delta State Commissioner for Youth Development, Barr. ThankGod Trakiriowei has assured youths of Isoko Nation and Delta State at large, that they are the priority of the government, while pledging total inclusiveness in policies and programmes.
Barr. Trakiriowei gave the assurance when members of Isoko National Youth Congress (INYC), led by Comr. Edigbe Abel paid him courtesy visit in his office, at Prof. Chike Edozien Secretariat, Asaba.
The youth commissioner said the Ministry was created by the government for the sole purpose of developing the youths of the state, adding that all youth groups in the state would be given equal treatment and recognition in all the Ministry’s programmes.
“I welcome you to my office. Let me inform you that the Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori has the youths in his heart. If not, I will not be here today. Youths are our priority.
“I assure you that whatever thing going to any youth group will surely get to them. We will put our hands together to make the difference. This office is yours and will always be opened for you to access anytime you want”, he said.
Earlier, the INYC President, Comr Edigbe Abel, who thanked the Commissioner for the warmth reception given to them, sought for collaboration with the youth ministry to implement youth development programmes, awareness campaigns, sensitization initiatives, seminars and empowerment services across the Isoko Nation.
Edigbe, also, commended the Youth Commissioner for his visionary leadership, saying “partnering with your office will significantly enhance our efforts. We look forward to your valuable insights and support in making a positive impact on the lives of our people,” he said.
