Some 65 million square meters of state-owned lands have been restored, Sisi told the gathering, adding that the government will act to extend utilities to those areas. 
About 65 billion pounds are needed to extend the utilities to the freed areas, Sisi said. 
He told the gathering he was keen on involving youth in campaigns to remove the encroachments with the aim to listen to their views.
Those lands belong to the coming generations and today's youth, the president noted.
