Stallion Group, a business conglomerate which deals in automobiles, agricultural products and other subsectors of the economy has indicated interest in partnering the Bayelsa State Government on youth empowerment, sports and agricultural development. 

The Regional Head of Stallion Group in Nigeria, Mr. Jayesh Shinde, gave the indication during a courtesy visit to the Deputy Governor, Senator Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, in Yenagoa on Tuesday.

The special Assistant to Bayelsa State Deputy Governor, Mr Doubara Atasi quoted the company as expressing readiness to provide technical skills training for at least 200 youths from the state on assembling and repair of tricycles popularly known as “Keke”.

He also maintained that Stallion Group would also work with the state government in the area of developing critical sporting facilities and sponsorship, pointing out that his company had, on some occasions, sponsored the Super Eagles in the past.

Mr. Jayesh said the company would encourage potential female Keke riders from Bayelsa by offering them special discounts and flexible terms of payment to acquire their own tricycles.

Responding, Senator Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, expressed excitement over the offers made by the Stallion Group, saying the Senator Douye Diri-led administration would do everything within its reach to ensure a mutually beneficial partnership.
