Former governor of Zamfara State and Senator representing Zamfara West Senatorial District, Alhaji Abdulaziz Yari Abubakar (Marafan Sokoto), has expressed his continued determination to provide sources of livelihood to his constituents with a view to reducing idleness, especially amongst the teeming youths.
A statement issued by Ibrahim Birnin- Magaji said this will go a long way in preventing them from going into some social vices that serve as fertile ground which compound the security situation in the society.
Senator Yari was speaking at the Passing Out Parade of the 87 Intake at the Nigerian Army Depot, Zaria, Kaduna State at the weekend.
Represented by the Co-ordinator, Zamfara West Senatorial District Zonal Office, Talata Mafara, Alhaji Sha’ayau Yusuf, the Senator reminded the graduating soldiers of the herculean task awaiting them in the field, taking into account the security challenges bedevilling the country.
He explained that idleness amongst the youth has been his source of worry and that’s what prompted him to bail them out of it at whatever cost.
Senator Abdulaziz Yari Abubakar admonished the 74 recruits of Zamfara West Senatorial District extraction to regard their enlistment into the Nigerian Army as a call to national duty, adding that they should endeavour to exhibit high sense of patriotism and bravery throughout their assignment.
It could be recalled that the Senator had through his Zonal Constituency Office facilitated the recruitment of 84 youth who hail from 6 Local Government Areas of Talata Mafara, Bakura, Bukkuyum, Anka, Gummi and Maradun that made up of Zamfara West Senatorial District that passed out under the 86 Intake of the Nigerian Army Depot, Zaria, Kaduna State.
