“We also, commend Governor Bello for the provision of 22 buses for the running of youth council in the local government areas of Kogi State and one official vehicle for the state chairman.

“The Forum also appreciates Governor Bello for appointing competent young persons across 36 states of the federation as his aides.

“The forum enjoined other governors, ministers, and heads of government agencies, boards and parastatals as well as non-governmental organisations (NGOs) to emulate Governor Bello’s exemplary leadership towards the youth of their diverse states.”

They noted that Bello’s leadership style of youth inclusiveness is integral part of society and it remains one of the prerequisites to addressing insecurity in the country.
