The people Democratic party (PDP) member eying the Chairmanship of Yala Local Government, Cross river, Hon.Ogar Declan Genesis, on Friday said he had plans to build the capacity of youths in Information Communications Technology (ICT) and entrepreneurship.
Declan, according to a statement signed by his Media Consultant, Mr Adoga , unfolded the plan when he launched his house-to-house campaign in the local government area.
The statement also quoted him as declaring that if he actualized his dream, he would use his salary to improve the lives of children and the youth living in Yala.
“I plan to build an ICT centre to build youth capacity in information technology, and also an entrepreneurial centre,’’ Declan was quoted as saying.
He said as a middle aged man, the welfare of youth would be central in his developmental agenda, which he hoped to execute via innovative schemes.
“If I win, half of my monthly salary for years will be used to support projects that would take most of our youth out of the streets and become better citizens.
“People would agree with me that one of our major problems in this community is youth restiveness and I promise to bring an end to it by creating opportunities for empowerment of individuals in all fields of human endeavour.
“Pledging my salary does not require any political power. It’s a simple thing to do and it will make sure every youth in Yala gets a life,’’ Declan said.
He promised to partner with organisations and professionals within and outside the country in the areas of technical and vocational skills acquisition, sports and music to harness their talents
“Yala abounds with talents Yala will witness its fair share of development to bring positive change in the lives of people if he is given a chance.
