The
Member of Parliament for Donga Mantung Centre Constituency (Nkambe) who doubles
as Quaestor at the National Assembly has donated prizes to youth centres in
Nkambe Central to encourage excellence among youths. Apart from donating to
the youths, the MP for Nkamb also dolled out financial support to members of
the various organizing committees to enable them afford for entertainment after
the laudable job. After attending the official ceremony at the Nkambe
Grandstand, the Member of Parliament and his delegation paid a courtesy visit
at the Kungi, Njap, Chup, Wanti, Nwangri, Mbot and Tabenken Youth Centres. Talking
to journalists after the marathon tour of these centres, Hon. Awudu Mbaya said
that he would have loved to visit all the centres but due to time constraint
and the poor landscape, he had only to go to these areas. He also added that
even though he was not physically present at Bih, Binka and Mayo-Binka, he
assigned others to represent him. He also regretted that even though he got to
Mbot and Tabenken late, he was ably represented in these areas.

Harping on the importance of the celebration,
Hon. Awudu Mbaya said that anyone that doesn't care about the future of the
youths is building a foundation on sand. “Youths
are the leaders of tomorrow”, he added. “The youths constitute the foundation on which a nation is built and it
is my wish that they should be encouraged”, Hon. Awudu continued. He said
that on all the prizes that he supported the various youth day centres with, there
is a sticker on which he expresses his concern for the youths which read thus:
Your Future Remains my Concern. He said he was marvel by the fact that notion of
national integration was vivid in the songs and dance groups that were
performed by youths. Hon. Awudu cited the case of GHS Mbuwarr where student
staged a dance from Manyu. To him, these are actions that should be encouraged
so that national integration becomes a practical reality. The only message to
youths is that of hard work and determination. And that going to school and studying
well is what will make them leaders of tomorrow. “We need people to replace us tomorrow. My message is that you should concentrate
in studying well so that tomorrow some of you could be mayors, MPs, Ministers,
Directors, teachers and why not the President of this country”? In his
conclusion, he disclosed that the 48th Youth Day celebration was a
resounding success. Echoes from other centres he emphasized indicated that the
event passed on hitch-free. It should be noted that Madam Mary Awudu who
attended the event at Njap Youth Day Centre was the lone sponsor of the
football encounter between GTTC Njap versus Njap village Boys. She also donated
a lumpsum to the referee to enable him acquire a nice sport outfit.

In Chup Stephenie Mburli said she is feeling happy that she is going back home with a bucket donated by the MP.
