Amidst ongoing nationwide protest against hunger, hundreds of youths in Gassol Local Government Area of Taraba State have embarked on tilling the farm of Chief of Mutum Biyu chiefdom, Justice Sani Muhammed as a mark of support for his leadership qualities.
The youths of Mutum Biyu chiefdom chose not to protest on the streets. Instead, they gathered at the farm of their paramount ruler to show respect and appreciation for his guidance.
Abubakar Titus, the spokesperson for the youths, told newsmen at the farm that they pledged to work freely on the traditional ruler’s farm throughout the protest period without expecting any payment.
He added that the youths would continue working on the farm for the entire ten days of the protest, except on Fridays and Sundays, to accommodate both Muslim and Christian youths.
Titus stressed that the youth in Mutum Biyu chiefdom have greatly benefited from the chief’s leadership, which has led to a boom in agriculture, livestock, and business activities in the area.
“Ninety percent of the chiefdom’s population are farmers, and the paramount ruler has consistently encouraged the youth to engage in farming, resulting in their self-sufficiency in producing cash and food crops.
“Just before the nationwide protest began, the chief had gathered the youths at his palace, warning them about the dangers of the protest and advising them to stay away,” he added.
Addressing the youths, the paramount ruler, Justice Sani Muhammed applauded them for not participating in the protest and extolled their maturity and self-sufficiency in various ventures, including farming, fishing, and livestock production.
