“We are here to seek areas of collaboration with NUPRC especially in sensitising our youths against restiveness and vandalism of public property such as those belonging to the NNPC and NUPRC.
“We are constrained to ask your management to always consider AMAC in your Corporate Social Responsibility programmes and also consider to employ our qualified unemployed youths for employment and sponsorship in your training.

“I want to assure you that once the opportunity comes, we will give our first community our considerations, since we are hosted and domiciled in AMAC.
“We have taken note of all your requests and especially the skill acquisition and empowerment of youths, we will see what we can do in that regard.
“This is because, once youths are occupied and engaged, they will not think of indulging in social vices and so we assure you of our commitment to partner in their regard,” he said.
