“We have many of our youths who are learning various skills and unable to purchase needed equipment for themselves. It is one of the objectives of this noble association to support them.”- Onagbesan disclosed
The association Protem Coordinator, Comrade Yaya Onagbesan disclosed that it’s high time youths need to get themselves involved in things that will add value to themselves and society at large. However, nobody will help the Youths if there is no seriousness on our part. The only way we can get involved in decision-making is to set out priorities right while engaging in things that will promote socio-economic growth and development.
The association is also set to train youths in the area of ICT. This was disclosed after inspecting the ICT facility (20 brand-new desktops donated by Asiwaju Bisi Adegbuyi.
