The Edo State Government has given its backing to the Save the Next Generation initiative, noting that the state government is deeply concerned about teenagers’ welfare and growth process.
“The teenage population is a unique age group where they notice changes in them. Consequently, mentoring and building teenagers in the right way secures their future which also positively affects national development.
“The strength of a nation depends on the quality of resources especially human resources and the values that they hold dear. I wish to charge the organisers of this initiative to remain committed to this course and not lose focus of the goal as the next generation is counting on you to deliver to them the template for their development on which they can build upon,” he added.
The National Director, Agape Force Ministry, the teenage arm of the church, which is overseeing the initiative, Rev. Akan Sebastian, said it was about inculcating in the teenagers virtues of patriotism, perseverance, respect and integrity and other values that would impact positively on the lives of the Nigerian teenagers.
He charged the over 6000 participants at the event to start working toward a bright future by imbibing positive ideas which would lead them to greatness both in the physical and spiritual lives.
