She precisely said: “Our target is to make sure that not less than 500,000 Ebonyians are captured, particularly youths between the ages of 18-35.

“As I’m talking to you now, we have registration points in all the 13 Local Government Areas of Ebonyi state so that people at the rural areas of the state are captured in their respective local government of origin,” she explained.

“The commissioner further reminded the applicants not to pay money to any person during registration, adding that the registration and shortlisting of applicants are free”
