The Kwara State Government has warned beneficiaries of the starter packs Youth Transformation Programme (YTP) from actions that would debar other Nigerians opportunity of the items in the country.
The warning was handed down in Ilorin at the weekend during the distribution of starter packs to the graduates of the YTP midwife by National Hydro-electric Power Producing Areas Development Commission (N-HYPPADEC).
Addressing the beneficiaries, Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq represented by his deputy, Kayode Alabi, advised them to make the best use of the startup kits provided.
“Use them responsibly to create wealth, become self-reliant and ultimately, employ others through your hard work and dedication. Your success will not only benefit you but will also increase the chances of other youth from Kwara State being selected for future programmes.
“I, therefore, urge you to make the most of this opportunity,” he added while thanking N-HYPPADEC for the intervention.
Earlier, the managing director of N-HYPPADEC, Abubakar Sadiq Yelwa, said the intervention and skills were critical for building a robust and sustainable economy in Kwara State.
In his remarks, Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume, represented by a director in his office, Mr Simon Tyungu, said other government agencies should replicate the initiative across the country.
