A Chairmanship aspirant in Amuwo-Odofin Local Government Area, Hon. Adejoke Risikat Adegeye has urged youths to devote their time to productive activities. She said the idea would help them to develop their potential for growth.
Speaking at a programme she organised preparatory to welcoming 14 people that arrived in Nigeria after a tour of United Arab Emirates, she said youths are within productive age, and therefore, must channel their energy to activities that would bring development to the society.
Adegeye, a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), said she would work hard put in place some skill acquisition programmes for youths in order to make them self-reliant.
According to her, she has sent 14 youths to the United Arab Emirate (UAE), in order to expose them to ideas that would enable them to become better individuals.
She said: “The trip to UAE was organised to empower youths and further reduce unemployment. This is part of my contributions to the development of Nigeria.
