Edo To Employ 2,000 Youths Into Neighbourhood Watch

Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole has promised to employ over 2,000 youths of the state under the yet to be re-constituted Neighbourhood Watch.

Oshiomole had last year disbanded the Neighbourhood Watch after the recruitment of members was hijacked by politicians.

The governor told youths from Edo Central senatorial district under the aegis of the Initiative for Youth Awareness on Migration, Immigration, Development and Reintegration, led by Mr. Solomon Okoduwa, that the recruitment must be transparent.

He alleged that some politicians who defected recently to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP were the reason why the outfit was dissolved.
