Shamsuddeen, the son of the Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, has made an appeal to Seyi, son of President Bola Tinuu, not to reduce Bauchi youths to beggars on his tour to the state.
Mohammed, in a Facebook post on Sunday, urged Tinubu to provide Bauchi youths with employment opportunities, resources to start businesses, and training in crypto trading, among other forms of empowerment rather than temporary handouts.
He said, “Please, when coming to Bauchi for the #RHYE, empower our youths with employment, Keke NAPEP, monies to start a business, ICT infrastructure and training for crypto trading and so on.
“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 feed them for one day.
“They are not beggars.”
He emphasised that Bauchi youths don’t need food donations but rather opportunities to become self-sufficient.
PUNCH reports that Seyi Tinubu was spotted distributing food to those in need during his tour of some northern states.
