Governor Godwin Obaseki has said that Edo State was ready to massively develop the rural, especially the oil producing communities, to create job opportunities for the teeming unemployed youths of the state.
A statement by the Chief Press Secretary, Mr. John Mayaki quoted Governor Obaseki when he received the Group Managing Director(GMD) of the NNPC, Dr. Maicanti Baru in Government House, Benin.
He said youth engagement by the state government and its partners would obviously address the disturbing cases of restiveness and other nefarious activities that usually hinder the social-economic development of any society.
He noted that “one of the things we need to do to stabilize those communities is to give the young people opportunities. So, we are revamping our technical schools.
“We are revamping our vocational sector and also reviewing our school curriculum to ensure that the kind of education we offer is such that will give them work when they finish school.
“We want to emphasize this more in the oil producing communities. Our plan is to pool in resources:
“Resources from your partners, resources from the agencies of the federal government and our own EDSOPADEC, and have a plan, more like a master plan for oil producing communities.”
