Politicians need to move from the era where they empower people closest to them, and move the agenda to the whole society , from small scale contractors to others who want to do businesses, the role of support is very important to achieve the required growth needed.
Each governor and local government chairman must decide to have town hall meetings with youths resident in their area , get a very active database of the ones that are able to achieve set out tasks, and empower them, these one’s will also employ capable hands and the circle keeps going on. We will realise that the large sums spent on security will reduce when we spend more on changing the lives of the citizens.
