The Deputy Governor made the call during a festival of carols and nine lessons at Saint Michael and All Angels Anglican Church, Ivite Aguleri in Anambra East Council Area.
Deputy Governor Ibezim who restated the commitment of the present Soludo led administration towards rebuilding Anambra state, said that the government dearly needs the prayers of the church in order to survive and actualize its visions for the state.
Dr Ibezim used the opportunity to call on youths to key into the skill acquisition trainings and other opportunities provided for them by the state government, to be self-reliant and employers of labour.
Earlier in a sermon, a Guest Preacher at the event, Venerable Izuchukwu Obiekwe who spoke on the topic, “The Greatest Need of The Moment”, pointed out that the world needs Jesus Christ for lasting peace, as he regretted the height of insecurity, turmoil and crisis ravaging the world presently.
