Organisation for Global Youth peace Empowerment and Development initiative (GYPEI) has called on the present administration to see  empowerment of youths in Nigeria as a major priority.

The call was made when representatives of the organisation made a tour to different communities and Youth leaders across Delta and Edo State.

The National coordinator of the organisation, Mr. Japhet Omene charged youths across South-South states to always be peaceful and law abiding citizens as this will bring about speedy process of empowerment to the region.

He furthers, “State government and other relevant agencies should do all within their power to salvage the high rate of unemployment in the region.

“As a group we promise to train 10,000 youths in different skills accusations programs as part of our effort to support youths empowerment and development before the end of 2016.”

“if Nigeria must overcome insecurity challenges, youth empowerment must be taken seriously since it is an established fact that youths constitute about 54% of the country’s population.” He ended.
