Nyaribo emphasized that technical courses such as plumbing, building, and construction are market‑driven and provide opportunities for self‑employment and job creation. He encouraged young people to embrace these skills as a pathway to economic independence and community development.
He further called on the youth to remain focused on their education and career goals, stressing that discipline and determination are essential for personal and family progress.
