ASABA/Nigeria: Youths in the state have been called upon to key into the prosperity agenda of the State Government, develop their talents and acquire skills that will make them productive members of the society as well as employers of labour and help reduce unemployment in the society.
The Commissioner for Information, Mr Charles Aniagwu, stated the above today in his office while playing host to an upcoming comedian, Dome Bright who paid him a courtesy.
Aniagwu noted that apart from keying into the numerous state government skills acquisition programme, which he said had benefited many Deltans, some youths had taken it upon themselves to develop their God given talents, adding that such had impacted positively in the life of Deltans economically and socially.
The commissioner further stated that apart from the economic gains, comedy was also a panacea to ease stress and heaviness occasioned by certain life challenges.
He encouraged youths to strive to develop their talents, saying that the society had evolved to the extent that no talent should be wasted.
“When people are entertained and energized, they have a way of contributing their quota to the development of the society and it goes a long way in promoting peace,” Aniagwu said.
The commissioner therefore urged other youths to emulate comedians to emulate people like Dome Bright, whom he said was following the footsteps of notable comedians such as Ali Baba and Frank D Don, among others, stressing that the comedy market had huge business potentials.
Earlier, Dome Bright informed the commissioner of his forthcoming comedy show in Agbor, which according to him, would attract notable comedians of Delta State origin.
Dome Bright requested the commissioner to be present during the occasion in December, 2020 as well as lend his support to ensure the success of the event.
