The Governor Delta State, Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan has charged
members of the Women and Youth Development Committees in the State to be
committed in sensitizing the people at the grassroots about government policies
and programmes.
Addressing
members of the Committees from the 25 local government areas of the state in
Asaba, Uduaghan said that it was important for the committee members to
champion the course of government and let the people at the grassroots to be
aware as well as benefit from the programmes of government.
“Being
in the Women and Youth Development Committee is not for you to be receiving
money without working for either your community or the party,” the Governor
said, adding, “sensitize the people about government programmes, especially,
issues of immunization.
“The
youths should try and be involved in intelligence gathering in your
communities, give information about kidnappers and thieves, let us do things
that will make our communities, our state safer.”
The
Governor also advised members of the committees to form cooperative societies
and encourage people in their localities to form such so that they could
benefit from government micro-credit programmes.
“It
is important that we use what we earn now to prepare ourselves for tomorrow,
use your money for profit-yielding ventures,” he said.
He
further urged members of the Committees to participate actively in the October
25 local government elections, “mobilize for our party, work for your party
during the elections, it is not only local government elections but other
elections that are coming up. If you work for your party, our party will win
again and again.”
The
Governor assured that their monthly allowances would be paid regularly, adding
that plans were on for an increase in the membership of the committees.
