“So, I know that if given the enabling atmosphere our unemployed youths would contribute to our economic development,’’ he said.
The governorship aspirant said that the people were quite abreast of the high level infrastructure deficit in the state, adding that they would show support to any administration that would be willing to address their plights.
“All these good infrastructure that we haven’t had for years, we know that we want them and I believe that once these are in place, investors will be attracted to the state and employment will be guaranteed for youths,’’ he said.
