BE SOLUTIONS, NOT PROBLEMS – SOLUDO TO ANAMBRA YOUTHS
The Anambra State Governor, Chukwuma Charles Soludo has admonished youths in Anambra State to strive to be the solution rather than the problem of the society.
Soludo made the call at the International Convention Centre, Awka during the second edition of the Anambra Youth Conference at the weekend.
Soludo who revealed that without the youth’s participation, building the society wouldn’t be possible, called for value re-orientation as it was in years past.
He pointed out that the crop of youths in Anambra gives him hope about the great future of Nigeria.
He reiterated the admonition for the youths to be the change that they want to see.
The Commissioner for Youth Development, Patrick Aghamba gave a status report of the “One Youth Two Skills” Empowerment initiative, at the occasion, saying that the programme is fully on course.
Aghamba stated that the youth conference offers a significant opportunity to an important segment of the society, coming when Anambra state is singled out as the shining light in the youth development in Nigeria adding that the youth is a top priority in the solution agenda.
The Chairman of the Occasion, Ikenna Ofodeme recalled issues surrounding youth development in the state, such as the “sit at home”, drug abuse and other social vices, usually associated with the youth, asking them to always profer solutions and called for focus on what unites, rather than what divides.
