Youth empowerment remains the best channel to national development especially at present when the world is advancing through well organised self-reliance.
This was expressed by Malam Musa Mohammed Albarkawa (Musan Kano) from Dawakin Tofa Local Government Area, in an interview with our correspondent shortly after he was received by his teaming supporters, where he assured of his policy to train and empower youth would be a continuous programme.
Musan Kano added that, “With my experience as a scraps dealer, I have trained and empowered more than 100 youth from our locality in order to become self reliant in scraps business and from what we have observed, the programme is yielding profit where over 200 persons are self reliant,” he emphasized.
He called on all those who have an opportunity to train at least 5-10 persons with various skills acquisition in order to ensure that the issue of unemployment is reduced because according to him, unemployment often promotes criminal activities and other unwanted breach of peace.
Malam Musan Kano said that his empowerment programme in scraps dealership would reduce unemployment and other breach of security among the youth and thanked his trainees for being committed to self reliance.
