“Having consulted all our elders about my ambition, I will equally keep consulting more of our youth like you. My ambition is not about being young, is about my idea, innovation and records which I have built in private capacity as recorded in my campaign magazine,” he said.
In his response, the President of the group, Mr. Abara Salawudeen appreciated the humble disposition of Hon. En-Habib Abdullah and his philanthropic participation towards youth development, most especially in information technology, which has been going on since 2016, where some members of AYCC are currently benefiting.
Mr. Salawudeen Abara said, “the ICT scholarship program you initiated has really brought a lot of young people in Kogi central into digital inclusions, your efforts in complementing the government by bringing dividends of democracy to the people is a welcome development, it has shown your commitment on human transformation in line with the economic recovering growth plan of the federal government and New Direction of his excellency. On that singular act, we will support your aspiration, though some of us belong to different parties, but your human development strides cut across party line, we pray to Allah to bring people like you into governance for a better society in order to implement your ideals and innovation.”

In his observation, the Assembly hopeful said; “as an IT professional and technoprenuer, I must ensure to support the government in contributing my quota as little as possible. As an APC member, I must complement my party manifesto, it was on this background I initiated the program in 2016 after setting up ICT skill acquisition centre in AAAMCO so that Ebira youths can be trained and certified free.
“Over 200 hundreds Ebira youths have so far been trained and passed through the training centre in batches, and some few non indigenes who reside in Kogi Central as documented”.
