“This is to provide employment to our youths and to boost food sufficiency and food security,” he said.
The governor also charged traditional and religious leaders, and parents on youth upbringing with decent morals.
Buni reiterated the collective responsibility to rebuild the eroding culture of discipline, decency and righteousness in youths for a better future.
