Deputy Senate President and 2023 governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State, Chief Ovie Omo-Agege, has declared that the oil-rich state is receding into shanties be-cause it has become the capital city of Nigeria in Keke (Tricycle) and Okada (Motorcycle) proliferation. Omo-Agege blamed the current administration of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state for plunging enterprising and graduate youths who have no gainful employment into street-boys.
This came barely one month after the office of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa on Job Wealth/Creation admitted another batch of trainees for his Skill Training Entrepreneur Programme (STEP). Also, a few hours after Governor Okowa in Asaba yesterday commenced the training for 145 youths for the Youth Agricultural Entrepreneurial Programme (YAGEP) through his office on job creation. Omo-Agege maintained that the global world has outlived sharing of Motorcycles and Tricycles to abled-bodied young men as empowerment.
