Responding, the Governor said that the request would be presented before the State Executive Council, adding the nation’s future rests on harnessing the talents of the youth.

The Governor who praised Mr Seyi Tinubu for his humility, advised him to continue networking with the youth with the aim of uniting them for positive outcomes.

He commended the Mr Tinubu for his nationwide engagement with the youth, irrespective of tribal, religious and political differences, adding that ‘’I was impressed with what you did in Kano yesterday by interfacing with youths across board.’’

According to the Governor, the All Progressives Congress(APC)-led Federal Government has a lot of policies and programmes around the education sector and digital economy.

Governor Uba Sani argued that the youth can only leverage these opportunities ”when they are united and refused to allow politicians to divided them along ethno-religious lines.’’

It will be recalled that Mr Tinubu and his Renewed Hope Youth Engagement team had earlier had Iftar, the Muslim breaking of Ramadan fast in Kano on Monday.
