Future gloomy for Nigerian youths, says Gowon

Friday Olokor

A former Head of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon
(retd.), on Saturday expressed concern over the
spate of insecurity and corruption in the country,
saying the future is gloomy for the youths.
The elder statesman, therefore, called for deep
reflection by all citizens.

According to him, other issues such as moral
decadence, sexual perversion and restiveness
should equally pose serious concern to the
citizens.

Gowon, who was represented by the National
Secretary of Nigeria Prays, Evangelist Austin
Kemie, spoke at the 25th anniversary of Scripture
Union work in Abuja.

He stated that all citizens must rise to deal with
the various issues of moral burdens in the
educational institutions. He said there was the
need to arrest the tide through massive prayer
campaign and action.

Gowon said, “If we do not rise to bring our youths
into the path of rectitude, then, their future
prospects will appear gloomy and we cannot build
a virile nation of trust, integrity and good
governance.”

He also paid glowing tributes to the leadership of
the SU, Abuja chapter, for labouring to impact
godly values and virtues in people.
He said, “Today’s celebration calls us into deep
reflection of our lost godly values and virtues,
particularly as Christian men and women, and
seek to recover them. This occasion must
therefore compel us to reflect deeply on the state
of our nation.”

The National Chairman of the SU, Ekpo Etim Ekpo,
challenged members of the organisation to
continue to reach out to the world with God’s
word.

He called on Christians across the country to
continue to be true ambassadors of Jesus Christ.
“No matter what you give and do, if the purpose is
not winning soul, you are not winning,” he said.
