Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Fintiri, has said that the state will tap into the energy of youths who are very productive and can contribute to the growth and development of the state.
Governor Fintiri made this known yesterday when he played host to the international humanitarian and bikers group, Jeje Riders Nigeria at the Government House, Yola, according to a statement obtained by LEADERSHIP Weekeend in Abuja.
The governor who expressed happiness with the energy in the group of young professionals of different fields said his administration is open to working with them in developing Adamawa State.
“I completely support the drive Jeje Riders has taken upon itself to
educate youths on the ills of drug abuse and peddling. Drug abuse is a
big menace that is ravaging youths across the north and the country as
a whole and you know what drugs do to the human mind-it kills
potentials,” Governor Fintiri said.
He further stated that he is willing to support Jeje Riders in the
campaign against drug abuse in the state, promising to be present in
all the campaign events organised by the group in the state.
Governor Fintiri assured the group that he will be physically present
at Government Secondary School, Gulak to commission the proposed
E-Library to be built by the group when it is ready for commissioning.
The governor thanked Jeje Riders for the visit and wished all members
of the group well in their individual careers.
He also called on youths across the country with means and energy who
are also professionals to lend hands in the growth and development of
the country.
Earlier in a brief remark by the president and chairman, Board of
Trustee (BoT) of Jeje Riders Nigeria, Ibrahim Tizhe, thanked the
governor for receiving the group in his office and said the touring
bikers group were in the state to seek his support towards their
humanitarian work in the state.
Tizhe on behalf of the group congratulated Governor Fintiri on his
re-election as Governor of Adamawa State and pledging their support
for the growth and development of the state.
