FG assures youths of enabling environment for growth

The Minister of State for Youth Development, Engr Ayodele Olawande, has assured Nigerian youths that the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is working to provide the enabling environment for young Nigerians to excel in their chosen vocations.

The minister gave the assurance in Edo State at a youth empowerment programme organised by the Paddy Emmanuel Foundation.

While assuring the youths of President Tinubu’s commitment to support the actualisation of their dreams, the minister stated that his appointment was enough testament of the renewed hope the president promised.

He said, “What the president envisages is a country where a child of nobody would have an equal chance to succeed and live a dignified life. The simple fact that the president appointed me, a child of every day Nigerian, is proof of his desire to build a country that offers equal and fair opportunities to all irrespective of their economic or social standing.”

While imploring beneficiaries who received grants at the empowerment ceremony to make judicious use of the funds, Ayodele said the government would continue to create the enabling environment that supported the growth of the small-scale industry where a lot of young people operated.
