He restates his commitment to encouraging youths to take advantage of the numerous initiatives of the present administration in agriculture and entrepreneurship to become self employed and offer opportunities for others.


The Governor reaffirms the willingness of his administration to sustain the collaboration with the private sector to create jobs for youths of the state.
