The Chairman of Mikang Local Government Area of Plateau State, Hon Soepding Alkali, has admonished youths to engage in meaningful ventures that will improve their economic well-being and prepare them for future leadership.
Alkali stated this at the swearing-in ceremony of the four district executives of Plateau Youth Council (PYC), held at the council secretariat in Tukus.
The Council boss sued for unity of purpose among the various youth groups, harmonious living, a better society, and peaceful coexistence.
In the same vein, the Chairman of Plateau State Youth Council (PYC), Panan Dapar, in his remarks, called on the newly inaugurated district executives to ensure that the core value of PYC is maintained at the grassroots.
He also tasked them to focus on issues bringing peace and unity and engender development in their respective districts.
Earlier, in a keynote address, the former Commissioner in Plateau State, Prof Paul Wayi, insisted that all tribes of the local government must be united for development to thrive.
Prof Wayi recalled how Mikang was carved out of Shendam LGA in 1996 but is yet to be fully developed to attain its potential, stressing that all hands must be on deck to move the area to enviable heights.
