“The days where youths just believe that we will bring money and throw in the skies for them to fight and kill themselves is gone for good. No matter how we are pressured, we will support young people that are prepared to make a living and earn a living. We will provide for Small Medium Enterprises. We will support all of you in groups and in clusters. That is what government is meant for.
“I’ll like to make it abundantly clear that you elected me to manage state resources with prudence, and no amount of intimidation or blackmail will make me waste state funds. I will work and you will see what you we did with each of the allocations that we receive. We urge our youths to rise, we are here to back you up. We are here to ensure that you succeed through hardwork”, the governor said.
