Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Governor Barrister Masood Kausar said on Tuesday the promotion of education and health sectors and the creation of employment opportunities for the youth of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) were among top priorities of the KP government.
“The youth of FATA is the focus of our attention because being the custodian of our future, they are the most valuable national asset and we have to provide them with better academic environment and bright future prospects,” he said.
He was speaking at an awards distribution ceremony held at the Governor’s House to honour the position-holders of the SSC and intermediate-level examinations from Khyber Agency.

He said the extra-curricular activities too were important and he had issued directives to the relevant quarters to hold regular sports competitions in the FATA.
