The government’s hands are tied and the people are suffering hence the need for him to motivate the youth to have skill training. The people particularly the youth will be encouraged to invest in the agriculture sector adding that the government can not provide everything for the people and no one ventures into agriculture and loses hence his decision to make agriculture a priority.

The youth was advised to be tolerant and treat each other fairly as action begets reaction and appealed to the youth to promote peace within the Zongo communities and the country at large. He called on his fellow Chiefs to serve the people and not the people serving them adding that most of the Chiefs carry titles around forgetting that they are to render services to the people and help them achieve their goals.
