Learn work or risk arrest - Imo state governor Rochas Okorocha tells unemployed youths

Unemployed youths in Imo have been advised to enroll in the "Youth Must Work Programme" of the state government or engage in viable activities.

Gov. Rochas Okorocha of Imo gave the advice at a Town Hall meeting he held with youths and people of Ikeduru and Mbaitoli Local Government areas of the state.

He said that the current administration introduced the programme and other empowerment projects as part of measures to keep Imo youths away from anti-social activities.

Okorocha said that with the programme in place, there was no reason for any Imo youth to roam the streets or engage in anti- social activities.

He, however, warned that youths, who failed to engage in meaningful activities, would risk arrest by May.
