Okowa Calls For Impactful Reforms For Youth Development
Gov. Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta has advocated for impactful reforms that will make youths in the country more resourceful and competitive globally.
Okowa stated this on Sunday at the “Christ Flock World Convention 2021″ of Flock of Christ Mission, Enerhen in Uvwie Local Government Area of the state.
The governor, who inaugurated the church’s “Youth Dream Centre”, called on youths to make use of the centre to better their lives and contribute meaningfully to societal growth.
According to him, the youth represent the future of the country, calling for sustainable efforts to mould them into becoming leaders of tomorrow.
He urged Christians to preach the word of peace to transform individuals to the way of God.
The governor commended church leaders for helping him in charting the path of greatness for the people of the state.
“I thank God for the vision of our Presiding Bishop and for the idea of building a centre for our youths.
“More than ever, it is time for us to truly communicate with our youths.
“Not only the youths of this church but those of the entire country and beyond, because the temptations of these end times are numerous.
“Communication will help us to grow a better future, as there is always a tendency for youths to be misled into
unprofitable ventures.
“If we allow them to continue in that stead, we will be destroying the future of our country.
“When individuals are transformed, families are transformed and when families are transformed, communities are equally transformed.
