“We are resolutely determined and passionately committed to working the talk in other to mobilize, canvass and sanitize all Youths affiliated organization across the 21 Local Government Areas of Kogi State.”
To achieve this goal, he said the group has concluded arrangements to vigorously enlighten the demographic by creating awareness in the minds of all youth affiliated organizations across the 21 LGAs of Kogi State about the project and policies of the new direction government thus far.
