A lawmaker
representing Emure/Gbonyin /Ekiti East Federal Constituency at the House
of Representatives, Mr. Bamidele Faparusi, on Friday, donated 10
vehicles, 35 motorcycles, 35 grinding machines and others items to some
people in his constituency.
The ceremony took place in Ode-Ekiti, the headquarters of Gbonyin Local Government Area of Ekiti State.
Faparusi, who was elected on the platform of the
Action Congress of Nigeria, said youths and women needed to be well
taken care of to develop the nation.
He described the high level of unemployment among the
youths and lack of structured empowerment programme for women as a time
bomb.
He said, “Today, youths are taking into armed robbery
and other crimes as well as prostitution because of unemployment. This
is why the government has to be passionate about the development of its
youth population for the economy to develop, because they are the active
and productive population.
“There should be interventions for them to have
education, skills and leadership focus to guarantee the future of this
country. That is why all my intervention programmes since election have
been centred on education and skills acquisition to complement the
efforts of Governor Kayode Fayemi.”
