Miss Joy, when asked her motive for organizing such programme, she said "Although, I was initially posted to this community to serve my country, which I later relocated due to health reasons, I saw that people from this part hardly value education. Youths and children of this area are following the same nonchalant path to education." she explained.

"I have tagged the programme "THE PAIN OF A WASTED YOUTH" so that youths of this community can understand the  reason why education should be valued. This programme is also meant to empower them and equip them for a better future." she continued.

Over six schools were present at the seminar, Toke schools, RUSAB, Easy Good, Graceboris schools, New Stars and Divine Royal. Over eighty-seven students were present with some few ex-students and teachers inclusive. This account was made by Corp member Olawoye Olaide, the attendant registration Officer of the day.
