Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo of Anambra State, has enjoined 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.
The Governor 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.
Soludo pointed out that the crop of youths he sees in Anambra gives him hope about the great future of Nigeria, reiterating the admonition for the youths to be the change that they want to see.
Also the Commissioner for Youth Development, Mr. 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.
Mr. Aghamba stated 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.
On his part, the Chairman of the Occasion, Hon. 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 prefer solutions and called for focus on what unites, rather than what divides.
