The Nation reports that Fayemi said his state will continue to support the SDG vision of making sure that poverty is eradicated across the developing nations, especially Nigeria, in 2030.
Represented by his Chief of Staff (CoS), Biodun Omoleye, Fayemi said in Ado Ekiti during an event commemorating the 2019 international youth day: “The essence of the SDGs is to eradicate poverty globally and make the world a better place to live for everyone by 2030.
“Throughout the world, there is a new order that recognises the skills of young people, a new order that believes society must be devoid of poverty and diseases, a new order that believes people must live well, a world free of pollution and how do we get there?”
The governor said he knew that any order that fails to empower the youths with leadership is bound to fail.
