The Kirike Town traditional ruler said, with the centre, the people, especially the youths would be gainfully engaged rather than indulging in social vices that are inimical to the norms of the society and also appealed for a craft centre, with sewing machines and barbing saloons so as to alleviate poverty.
“When the mind is developed and skilled, hardly such person will go into cultism and other crimes, he posited that lack of employment opportunity had made some people go into criminality.
He enjoined all youths to embrace peace, think of their future and be of good behavior as they are the leaders of tomorrow and charged them to ensure that they speak their mother tongue fluently and imbibe the norms, values and customs of their people which is paramount in a society.
The King assured of peaceful reign with human and capital development for the town to grow from strength to strength and thanked the Wakirike Media Practitioners for the visit.
In their separate speeches, the chairman of the body, Mr Karl-Dick Jamabo and the Secretary, James Kalio said, as they are the mouth-piece of the Wakirike people, they will always propagate and promote all sons and daughters of the Kingdom as well as activities in the area and called for a synergy with all to make their dreams come true.
