Governor Nasir Idris of Kebbi State has restated that youth development remains a central pillar of his administration, pledging sustained empowerment and development programmes targeted at young people.
The governor made this known on Wednesday when various youth groups, student unions, and organizations across Kebbi State converged on Government House, Birnin Kebbi, in solidarity with him as part of activities marking Nigeria’s 65th Independence Anniversary.
Expressing delight at the massive turnout, Governor Idris described the show of support as a demonstration of youths’ confidence in his administration’s policies.
“This is a government for the youths, because you supported us wholeheartedly into power. Since assuming office, we lifted the embargo on employment and recruited over 2,000 youths as teachers, while another 2,148 young doctors, nurses, and other medical personnel were also employed,” the governor said.
He reaffirmed his commitment to sustainable empowerment initiatives, stressing that education would continue to be free in Kebbi State with government bearing full responsibility for funding.
Governor Idris also commended the organizers for uniting young people, noting that their solidarity further strengthens his resolve to prioritize youth development.
Earlier in their remarks, the Commissioner for Youth and Sports Development, Hon. Nura Bala Fingilla, and the Special Adviser to the Governor on Students’ Affairs, Comrade Majo Muhammad, lauded the governor’s consistent support to the youth. They pointed out the administration’s payment of student scholarships and WAEC fees, as well as the inclusion of young people in the state executive council.
They pledged the continued loyalty and support of youths to the governor’s leadership.
