INTRODUCTION OF OPERATION TAKE THE YOUTHS OFF THE STREET BY RT. HON. AHMED MOHAMMED.
RT. Hon. Ahmed Mohammed launches third phase of his Back to School Education Support Program with this year’s central focus on “Taking the youths off the street”. The program target youths who are passionate about education but could not afford the means. Most of them engage in street hawking, doing menial jobs thereby, putting themselves to negative environmental factors and influence of bad friends.
Street hawking has huge implications for physical and emotional well-being of youths. It exposes them to sexual abuse, physical exhaustion, vehicle accidents, death, malnourishment, drug and substance abuse and prostitution. Despite the emotional trauma and physical dangers they experience, little is being done to protect them or to discourage such practices.
Since a majority of the population still live in rural areas, the idea behind this project is to pick at least twenty five (25) people off the street and enrol them into different schools. The committee mandated to carry out this task have already hit the ground running.
February 3rd 2020, The Ankpa 1 legislator paid school fees to beneficiaries of his Scholarship who are students of Kogi State University, KOGI State Polytechnic and KSCOE Ankpa. He also supported hugely to Government Technical College Ankpa, which was used to process their documents with West African Examination Council – WAEC for an accredited exam centre. This, will enable students of GTC Ankpa sit for WAEC exams.
Other areas of support to his constituents include;
– payment of JAMB fees to about fifty (50) persons drawn from the five wards.
– Payment of WAEC/NECO to fifty (50) persons
