He advised the Muslim youth to shun all acts of indiscipline and pursue developmental goals that would catapult them to desirable heights as role models in society, adding that the mantle of the nation's future rested squarely on them.

He said the Assembly was doing all in its mandate to improve the infrastructural and operational needs of Odorgonno SHS, which was the only SHS in the municipality, to serve the educational needs of all citizens in the municipality and to sustain its operation.
