Warri: A call had been made to youth movements in Delta state to support the efforts of the Delta State Government to develop the state.
The call was made recently when the members of the Ika Youths Peace Movement (IYPM) paid a courtesy call on the management of the Delta State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission, (DESOPADEC), in Warri.
The Executive Director, Social Services Development, Hon Ochor Chris Ochor, who represented the management of the commission told the youths that for the programmes of the state to be successful, a lot is required from the youths in the state, especially in the area of peace among the people.
Hon Ochor stressed the need for the body to be a link where the ideas of the Governor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa will be actualised through the preaching of peace through seminars and workshops, and different programmes that will endure cordial relationship among the people.
“I enjoy you to be that avenue of which we will use to relate to every youth body to sustain the ideas of the Governor, especially in peace building in the state”. He said.
On the present operational system of the commission, the Executive Director told the youths that a lot had changed in the commission, especially in the area of sharing free money to people, but with the new focus on total youth training, to prepare the people for the future, as the current board is determined to serve, despite the financial limitations that the commission is facing.
According to him, every activity to be carried out must be built into the budget, and it must be defined to be something that will be beneficial to all. As the 2016 budget of the commission was design to be in the same level with that of the state government, in order to achieve the SMART agenda programme, with focus on training the youths in various entrepreneurial skills.
