The member representing Orumba South Constituency in the Anambra State House of Assembly, Honourable Emma Nwafor, has urged government at all levels to see youths as tools for the growth and development of the Nigeria nation.

 

The legislator, who made the appeal while speaking to journalists in a telephone interview from Japan, lauded Governor Chukwuma Soludo for setting the pace in youth empowerment by giving them opportunities to serve Anambra State in different capacities.

 

Honourable Nwafor, who noted that the future of Nigeria lies in the youths, said taking away the willingness, commitment and engagement of youths, nation building will have dire consequences, especially in maintaining the peace of the country.

 

The lawmaker observed that Anambra State is now enjoying relative peace because the administration of Governor Soludo engaged them actively in development of the state.

 

He identified Youth Earnestly Seek Solution, a youth organization which the governor is using to empower the youths and fight crime as one of the surest ways to develop their hidden talents and engage them in nation building.

 

He advised youths to shun all forms of indecent acts capable of jeopardizing their future and work out their ideas in every walk of life as well as set their thoughts towards achieving their potential to guarantee sustainable development of Anambra and Nigeria at large.
