The Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Rt Hon Emomotimi Guwor, has urged youths in the state to always place the interest of the state at the top of their priorities.

Rt. Hon. Guwor gave the charge in Asaba, when he played host to a delegation of the Delta State Ethnic Nationality Youth Leaders Forum.

Addressing the group, which paid him a courtesy visit in his office, the Speaker assured that he would continue to push and promote youth inclusiveness in governance from both the Legislative and Executive angles.

He said, “This visit shows that you are indeed happy that one of your own, a youth is currently the Speaker of the State Assembly. I want to assure you that I will not let the youths down. I will definitely make all of you proud. I will use my strength as a youth to impact positively on humanity.

“I will ensure that there is youth inclusiveness in both the Legislature and the Executive. We will ensure that youths are carried along in the scheme of things. More importantly, I wish to ask that as youths, you should ensure that you put the state first in all your dealings”.

The Speaker thanked the body for the visit and reiterated the commitment of the State Assembly for making laws for the peace and good governance of the state.

Earlier in his address, the spokesperson of the group, Mr. Ovie Umuakpo, told Guwor that they were in his office to congratulate him on his emergence as Speaker of the State House of Assembly.

Omuakpo used the occasion to enjoin the Speaker to ensure that youths were well accommodated in the ongoing appointments at both the Executive and legislative arms of government.

The Speaker was joined by the Deputy Speaker, Rt Hon. Arthur Akpowowo, the Majority leader, Hon Emeka Nwaobi and others in receiving the visitors.
