The Civil Liberties Organisation (CLO), Anambra State has appealed to Nigerian youths to use the 2020 Youth Day celebration to think inward on how to positively contribute towards nation building in order to actualise a Nigeria of their dreams hopes and aspirations.
The Chairman of the group, Comrade Vincent Ezekwueme gave the charge in a statement to mark this year’s International Youth day.
He said it was pertinent for the youths as future leaders to properly and adequately equip themselves spiritually, academically, skillfully and economically for the great task of contributing immensely towards nation building.
He said, “Significantly, Nigeria youths should be in vanguard in waging war against Covid-19 pandemic corruption, cultism, thuggery, electoral fraud and examination malpractices.
“It is incumbent upon the youths to use their numerical strength, experience and exposure to bring positive impact in the society through creative innovations that will make them job creators, not job seekers.
“Nigeria youth should wisely utilise their majority position to participate actively in every periodic election by voting for people of impeccable integrity in order to make our good better our better best.
“It is of prime importance for our youths to eschew vices, mediocrity, avarice, nepotism and embrace virtues of meritocracy, altruism and patriotism.
“Worthy note is that vibrant, hardworking, honest and God fearing youth precipitates a healthy, wealthy, prosperous and progressive nation.”
