The youths are the frontline citizens of a territory, they are preferably referred to as the spinal cord (backbone) of the country and they are those that can decide on the wellbeing and wrong-being of the country. The country’s rise and fall depend on the strength of the youths.
Bauchi State governor, Senator Bala Abdulkadir Muhammad took the youths back to square zero since the present government came into power. There is no single program has been executed in the state to empower youths.

Youths played a significant role that gave Governor Bala Abdulkadir Muhammad victory in the last concluded 2019 general election. Governor Bala should think twice and use some strategies of former governor, Malam Isah Yuguda who served as a governor for eight years. In his first tenure in office as the incumbent governor of Bauchi State, Isah Yuguda made the youths paramount in his administration. He established Spiderweb Security Nigeria Limited, gave scholarship to many students across the state and cosmopolitan cleaners in other to reduce the level of unemployment in the society.
Since Bala Abdulkadir Muhammad came into power, our gallant youths have sacrificed they lives to maintain law and order. Therefore, I appeal to Governor Bala Mohammad to empower youths across all the 20 local government of Bauchi state in order to reduce the level of unemployment and political thuggery in the forthcoming 2023 general election.
