Commissioner for Culture and Tourism, Dr. Oluwatoyin Taiwo has stated that any nation that does not care about its youths would be doomed, as they are key in achieving peaceful co-existence.
Dr. Taiwo, who made this statement when the Treasures of the Universe Limited team, led by its Project Director, Mr. Gabriel Tukura paid a courtesy visit to the Ministry in Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, noted that the potentials imbedded in the youths are beneficial to the State and country at large.
The Commissioner said the Prince Dapo Abiodun’s administration is concerned about the welfare of the youth, which has made him include them in the State's mantra, 'ISEYA'.
Earlier in his address, Mr. Tukura said that his team is proposing to hold its second season of treasure hunt, a television reality show in Ogun State, as he sought for partnership and approval of the State government.
The Project Director stated further that the reality show is meant to initiate peace and mobilise youths in the development and transformation of Nigeria, as well as search for a National Peace Ambassador (NPA), who would encourage the voice of the youths to be heard.
" The choice of Ogun State as the base for the programme, is to promote the uniqueness of its rich tourism and cultural heritage, to give the youth greater advantage in participation in nation building", he said.
