Mr Jude Imagwe, the Senior Special Assistant (Youth and Student Matters) to President Goodluck Jonathan, says that the youth will be carried along in the schemes of the Subsidy Re-investment Programme (SURE-P).
Imagwe gave the assurance on Wednesday in Asaba, while speaking at the maiden edition of the Delta Youth Empowerment Summit.
He, however, urged the youth to work toward fulfilling their destinies by developing themselves in various skills which could make them self-reliant.
He said that the Federal Government initiated the SURE-P to empower the youth, advising the country’s youths to take due advantage of the programme.
Imagwe also advised youths to contribute their quota to the country’s development by developing their skills in profitable ventures that could make them self-reliant.
He stressed that the government could not provide jobs for all the country’s youths, adding that the young Nigerians should strive to engage in profitable ventures which would make them less-dependent on the government.
The presidential aide commended the Delta Youth Frontiers (DYF) for organising the summit.
Mr Ebifa Ijomah, Delta’s Commissioner for Youth, stressed the need for the diversification of Nigeria’s economy in order to reduce the country’s reliance on revenue from crude oil exports.
He warned the youths to resist any attempts to use them to foment trouble, particularly during elections and political campaigns.
Mr Donald Igudia, the Coordinator of DYF, said that the association was established to mobilise youths to participate in nation-building efforts.
