The Ebonyi State Government has commended youths of the state for refusing to be part of the nationwide protest against hardship in the country.
Governor Francis Nwifuru, said the protest could have truncated the collective efforts towards bettering the future generations of the state.
The Governor who conveyed this in a statement signed by the Commissioner for Information and State Orientation, Jude Okpor and made available to journalists on Thursday, noted that his administration is addressing the concerns of the youths which is why he has reeled out mouthwatering programmes to better their lots.
The statement reads “The Government of Ebonyi State under Rt. Hon. Builder Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru, on behalf of the founding fathers of our dear state, political leaders at all levels, royal fathers and indeed, all stakeholders expresses heartfelt gratitude to the entire people of the state, especially our cherished youths for harkening to the voice of reason and refusing to be lured into the proposed protest, which could truncate our collective efforts towards bettering our lots and those of the future generations of our state.
“The Government of Ebonyi State expresses gratitude for this act of patriotism on the part of our youths and considers it a great assurance of unwavering solidarity towards the collective actualisation of the laudable goals of the present administration as enshrined in the sacred pages of the Ebonyi People’s Charter of Needs, which is the guiding compass of Governor Nwifuru’s government. The Government promises never to take this honour for granted.”
The Information boss, said the state government will continue to advance policies and programmes across sectors, that have direct positive impact on the well-being of the entire people of the state, adding that the youths shall continue to enjoy significant position and pride of place in this administration.
The statement, however, reminded Ebonyi people that the best approach to combating hunger in the land is to go back to their roots, stressing that Ebonyi is an agrarian state, renowned for her rich agricultural endowments.
