so far exhibited by Imo youth in all facets of life.

over the world the youths are the driving force in the creative industry with
innovations and technology. I am particularly happy that Imo youth are not left

youth must also build strong spirit to say no to delinquent attitudes and live
above allowing criminality as a means of livelihood".

Enterprise Investment Scheme (AGSMEIS), where Young Entrepreneurs can access
loans from Nirsal Microfinance Banks without any hitches", he stated.
