Ebonyi State Governor, Dave Umahi, yesterday inaugurated a committee on youths and women empowerment.
Inaugurating the committee at the executive chambers, Government House, Abakaliki, Umahi called on members to tap into every available opportunity in different sectors with a view to taking the state to greater heights.
Besides, the governor implored them to look into employment opportunities going on in many federal establishments and ensure that Ebonyi indigenes were well represented, saying he had set aside N130 million for empowerment of youths across the political wards in the state.
“A sub-committee of this committee can look into the tomatoes programme in the state. The sub-committee can also look into the poultry programme. The sub-committee can also look into our rice production.”
