On concerns raised by the youth regarding jobs, The NABCO CEO allayed the anxiety of the youth groups by saying, “as a government we are working to ensure we tackle as many challenges concerning the youth of this country which includes jobs for you. Though we cannot tackle all the problems at a go, we will ensure the challenges are tackled for us all to smile”.
On their part the youth groups called on the leadership of the ruling party to avail themselves to them so that they can easily channel their grievances to them. They expressed worry at how distant some leaders have become and warned that it may have dire consequences for the party.
