The Bonny Integrated Recruitment Centre says it was committed to ensuring that employment opportunities get to the grassroots and the youths are profitably engaged in productive ventures.

Chairman of the BIRC, Dagogo Jumbo, popularly known as Opumingi, said this on Monday, February 15, 2021, when the Executive of the Orupiri Youth Association (OYA), led by its Leader, Nengi Jumbo paid him a Courtesy Visit in his office in Bonny.

“We must bring employment to the grassroots; let the people feel it. So, one day we can say let us give to Orupiri, let us give to Oloma, and other communities, it will be on record. Not just only the houses. It is our thing we must manage it well.”

“Last week, we gave some employment opportunities to Aganya, Orosikiri, and Iwoama Communities. If I can give to these communities, we are also going to be carrying every other community along.”

He congratulated the newly inaugurated Youth Executive of Orupiri Community, assuring them of his support to assist them to succeed in their set objectives, urging them not to hesitate to reach out to him whenever they need his support.

“Congratulations on your election and inauguration. Anything you know, as a youth leader of Orupiri that I can do for Orupiri youths, please call my attention to it. Don’t hesitate to call my attention. As long as it within my reach I will do it.”

He further urged them to focus on entrenching unity among the youths and working to empower the youths they are leading, enjoining them to give their leader the needed support for him to succeed in the set objectives, stressing the need for them not to avoid the temptation to be a diaspora leadership.  

“You should also prioritize the source of your elevation which is the community. You have to make your community your priority. Don’t’ stay in another place and say you are youth leaders of Orupiri, you need to be touching base with your home community.”  

“As per the executive, you are not there to scatter. Wherever the leader makes a mistake you should call him to order. This is the first right executive you have in Orupiri and you are projecting it well. It will also be fine if we properly position it. We should not allow it to scatter.”

“They say the crowd is the strength of the king and fire is the strength of the salt. The more heat touches the salt the more it is dry and sharp. You should not say because the leader is making a mistake so you switch off the light.”  

Praising the women amongst them, the BIRC boss also pointed out to them that the role of women is stabilizing society and providing the foundation need for progress and development to happen cannot be overemphasized, promising that the female gender would be given the right support to succeed.

“Same thing to you the women, women are always mothers anywhere they find themselves. That is why the Bible made us understand that mothers are the keepers of the home. We will give the support you need to carry on.”

Earlier, the facilitator of the visit and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Kristina Reports, Godswill Jumbo had explained to the BIRC Chairman that the visit was in line with the efforts to properly reposition institutions and organizations in Bonny Kingdom to assure uninterrupted progress and synchronized synergy to drive development in the Kingdom.

“Chairman, in line with the efforts to streamline institutions in the kingdom to ensure we are all on the same page and working towards a common goal we thought it wise to have the newly inaugurated executive of the Orupiri Community to interface with you and the BIRC. They were elected in December and recently inaugurated this January.”

“Obviously, they will need the support of the kingdom and its institutions to thrive and achieve the objectives for which they have been elected into office. We seek your support to help them succeed in this.”
