Dr Ikyo further advised young persons who loitering around as beggars and thugs to grab the available opportunities which he said will not cost them anything to access funds to develop and established themselves.

Earlier the Vice Chancellor, Benue State University Makurdi Prof. Joe-Tor Iorapuu who commended CEFTER for their move to take youths off the streets and as well put smiles on the faces of Farmers said, the purpose of every institution is to grow young people and BSU will not be an exception, so for us, we want to grow and established young minds within and outside the Country”

“What you saw today is the manifestation of a process which started with a step. Various steps are now being taken towards achieving our target goals of empowering the young generation to be self reliant”

There is an African proverb which says, “if you want to grow riches in one year, grow rice, in ten years, grow trees but if you want to grow riches that can be passed from generation to generation, grow young persons” so what we are trying to do here is growing young minds to grow generations”
