His Majesty King Abdullah on Wednesday asked representatives of the three badia regions to form committees to study their needs and challenges as well as suggest suitable solutions.

During a meeting at the Royal Badia Forces' headquarters, King Abdullah said the three panels representing the northern, central and southern badia regions should come up with ideas and plans to contribute to alleviating poverty and unemployment in the areas.

The King added that his Adviser on Tribal Affairs Sharif Fawaz Zaben Abdullah and the Royal Badia Forces will coordinate regular meetings of the panels.

The government will support any productive project to develop the badia and create jobs in the regions, His Majesty the King said.

King Abdullah urged the badia's youth to contribute to developing their local communities and effectively participate in reform and development process.

“Educated badia youth should spread awareness among their people on the importance of joining vocational training programs to acquire skills that enable them to find jobs,” King Abdullah said at the meeting, attended by Royal Court Chief Faisal Fayez and Sharif Fawaz.

Representatives of the three badia areas, meanwhile, spoke about their needs and challenges facing their communities.
