With the aim of engaging the youths in his constituency actively, Dr Ali Ahmed has created an empowerment scheme in order to combat the menace of youth unemployment.

Speaking at the launching of the Empowerment Scheme which took place in his residence, Dr Ali Ahmad revealed that the youth will be engaged in Agriculture which according to him is the bedrock of any nation.

"This empowerment has a capacity of 100 beneficiaries under my constituency and it has to do with commercial farming; there is a commercial farming in Kwara state which was provided by the state government. It is a very profitable venture which the beneficiaries may decide to do for a year or two and the profit they make from it they can use to start their own personal businesses ," he said.

He encouraged those present to take advantage and patronize agriculture so that there can be expansion which will result in more employment.

He concluded by saying that his constituency office is presently being constructed and on completion it would be equipped with computers and ICT facilities for the purpose of computer literacy training.

Responding, Iponrin Community Youth showed their appreciation for the humanitarian work Dr Ali had been carrying out and therefore honoured him with an award from their community.
