Youths have been urged to get acquainted with the use of Information and Communication Technology, as the world has evolved into a global village.
The call was made during the 2021 Ihiala Diocesan youth advancement rally, held at the Cathedral Church of Saint Silas, Ihiala.
Correspondent, Onyinye Agubaeze reports that the rally, which had its theme as “Equipping the Youths for a fulfilled life” was initiated by the Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Ihiala, Right Reverend Professor Israel Okoye and was well attended by the clergy, youths and people from all walks of life.
Speaking during the event, Right Reverend Okoye said the purpose of the rally was to contribute to youth’s development in a sustainable way, by enabling younger ones to toe the right direction in life as against things that negate the purpose of their living.
One of the resource persons at the event who was a one-time Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps and former Minister of Aviation, Chief Osita Chidoka who spoke on “self-reliance”, advised youths to engage themselves in service of God and humanity.
He urged them to seek for more knowledge and be ready to tap opportunities which he said await only those that are hard working.
Also speaking, the wife of the Bishop and President of the Women’s Ministry in the Diocese, Dr. Faith Okoye maintained that heart desires should be in accordance with the will of God.
