Well-done sir. This is part of what we need in our society and in the state at large. If i may ask, what are the vocational trainings that will be available because they were not included in the speech. This will help to know skills that are available to be learnt.
ReplyDeleteAlso it will be good if there can be some twenty first century skills that will be available for the youth to learn.
I believe this program will yield a good results and change many youth lifes.
God bless Nigeria, State of Osun, and Ife-South LGA.
