Shamsudeen Bala Mohammed, son of Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed, has called on Seyi Tinubu to focus on youth empowerment rather than distributing food handouts during his visit for the Renewed Hope Youth Engagement (RHYE) program.
Taking to his Facebook page, Shamsudeen advised the president’s son to create sustainable opportunities for young people in Bauchi by providing employment, financial support for startups, ICT infrastructure, and training in crypto trading.
He emphasized that Bauchi youths need long-term empowerment, not temporary relief in the form of rice and food packages.
“Dear King of Boys AKA Seyi Tinubu, please when coming to Bauchi for the #RHYE, empower our youths with employment, keke Napep, money to start businesses, ICT infrastructure, and training for crypto trading.
Please, we the Youths of Bauchi don’t need rice and food in nylon bags during Ramadan. Teach our youths how to fish rather than feeding them for one day. They are not beggars. Thank you in the hopes that you’d listen to our plights.”
With Tinubu’s visit on the horizon, many are watching how he responds to the call for lasting economic solutions for Bauchi’s young population.
