The chairman of the DAA 3 Cluster Board, Hon Mpaka Karibi Botoye has enjoined the Kalabari youths to channel their energies to meaningful and productive engagements and eschew all manner of violence from their lifestyle.

He assured the youths of a brighter future as he hopes to do all within his power to ensure that they are meaningfully engaged and further promised to meet with the traditional rulers and the chiefs to know their needs in their various communities.
According to him, his administration is full aware that a safer Kalabari would attract more development from the government, hence his administration would cater for, provide and create the enabling environment for both graduates and those that were unable to go to school, to at least learn a skill.

Hon. Botoye reaffirmed his commitment to remain resolute to serve and justify the trust reposed in him, assuring that he would continue to work to deliver good governance for the collective good of all Kalabaris. He urged the youths of Kalabari kingdom to remain peaceful and shun any acts of criminality in the kingdom.
