The group emphasized the importance of engaging youth in productive activities to reduce unemployment and underemployment.
Abejide’s plans include setting up skill acquisition centers to identify and support serious individuals, introducing a Tractor Usage Revolving Initiative to modernize agriculture, and securing resources for infrastructure development, including roads and healthcare facilities. The discussion also touched on leveraging independent power companies for electricity supply improvements and addressing insecurity caused by armed herdsmen.
