12-11-09 YOUTH ADVISED TO ESCHEW NEGATIVE TENDENCIES
The youth have been called upon to distance themselves from party politics but rather engage in other income generating activities including agriculture to help better their standard of living for the development of the country. This is one of the surest ways to discourage school going children from traveling down south for non-existing jobs. The Chief of Nyariga, Naba Malax Abosongo, made the call when he was addressing members of Canal View Youth of Nyariga, a youth group in the Bongo District of the Upper East Region. Naba Abosongo also advised the children who were mostly primary and junior high students to take their studies seriously in order to become responsible persons in future. He therefore charged the various district assemblies to create employable skills for children who are not into schools and also help increase school enrolment among children in the district by extending the school feeding programme to other deprived communities. In a speech read on his behalf, the Headteacher of Nyariga Junior High School, Bismark Asug-Bey Yakubu challenged parents, teachers, guardians as well as students to play their respective roles so as to ensure effective teaching and learning. Mr. Yakubu urged parents to provide basic materials for their wards to enhance their learning capacity. The President of the youth group, Moses Aguama, appealed to chiefs, opinion leaders and district assemblies to put premium on education of the youth particularly, the girl child to empower them. He called on the youth to unite and live exemplary lifestyles devoid of smoking, drunkenness, stealing among others.
