At the flag-off ceremony in Rayfield New Government House, Jos, the secretary to the government of the gederation (SGF), Senator George Akume, said equipping and training the youths in various vocational skills would enable them to become self-sufficient and boost the socio-economic activities of the state.

The SGF who was represented by a director in his office, Mr. Simon Tyungu, commended N-HYPPADEC, its partners and the Plateau State government for training the participants and ensuring that the beneficiaries were business owners registered  with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC).

He called on other agencies and well-meaning Nigerians to borrow a leaf from this patriotic endeavour while assuring that the federal government will do everything within the ambit of the law to support N-HYPPADEC toward discharging its interventional role for the benefit of Nigerians.

Meanwhile, Governor Caleb Mutfwang of the state who was represented by his deputy Ngo Josephine Piyo in his remarks said the N-HYPPADEC Youth Transformation Programme has been a beacon of hope and opportunity for the youth and has provided a platform for skill development, empowerment, and transformation.
