The Anambra State Commissioner for Economic Planning, Budget and Development Partners, Mark Okoye has said that his appointment depicts deeper meaning than mere commissioner in Governor Willie Obiano’s administration, especially in the lives of youths within and outside the state.
Okoye, who spoke while receiving in his office, the Youth Wing of Anambra State Association of Town Union (ASATU—Youth)
Dunukofia Chapter, claimed that the incumbent government is youth friendly, even as he urged them to draw closer to benefits from its entrepreneurial schemes, agriculture and other enablers.
He announced that, “I will work in harmony with the youths while serving the state because I am a youth. I know where it pinches us, but you must be law abiding and focus in order to determine what you want because the era of giving free money has gone. You must make use of your mental faculty in order to achieve success in life.”
Earlier speaking, the leader of the group, Tochukwu Nwasike from Ukwulu community, explained that the visit was meant to familiarize with their brother, having earlier congratulated him on his recent appointment as Commissioner of the Ministry of Economic Planning, Budget and Development Partner in Other speakers from the six communities that made up Dunukofia LGA, including Comrade Kingsley Ezika – Ukpo, Comrade Onyemaobi Augustine – Nawgu, Comrade Egbo Maduabuchi – Umunnachi, Hon.
