Pastor Timothy Kehinde of Christ’s Tabernacle Church, Fate, Ilorin, has called on the Federal Government to make youth empowerment a priority.
The cleric made the call in Ilorin on Sunday in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), stressing that youths were the future of any nation.
According to him, if a country is to attain its greatness, the youths must be well equipped and catered for.
He said government must understand that the future of any nation was in the hands of the youths, noting that “Nigeria is blessed with gifted youths who are ready to work and be productive. I think it is time government emulates the western world and provide for the youths.
“Government should implement more programmes that will favour the youths and provide for the unemployed graduates.”
He, therefore, called on government at all levels to make youth empowerment a priority and not just an option to move the nation forward.
The cleric, however, advised the youths to be creative and not solely rely on government for survival.
