Olakewu noted that the rally was also an avenue for youths to come together and make plans for the growth and development of their community.
“Kayokayo comes up every year, and the youth rally is to unite the youths, to make them know Kayokayo is a big event, and for the youths to learn some lessons, and get to know that the event isn’t just for the adults alone, but they’re also to be involved,” he said.
“The youth rally is a time for the youths to come together and plan on how they’d be involved in the growth and development of the society.
“It is also a means to get the younger generation involved in the program of the community.”
The rally’s organising secretary also stated that the youth forum intends to improve the educational sector of the community.
According to him, they intend to do it by buying GCE forms for the youths and also empowering them with skills, and providing financial support to those involved in businesses.
