Speaking at inauguration, Eno urged Oron people to take advantage of the health centre to access quality and affordable healthcare services.
The governor stated youth development centres would be replicated across the 31 local government areas in the state.
He urged youths to take advantage of the facilities in their areas for personal development and the overall progress of the state.
Eno said that when completed across the state, no fewer than 31,000 youths would be trained annually in ICT, fashion design, catering among others.
The governor said that his administration deliberately created a Ministry of Youth Development in order to give youth development a priority attention.
