DALUNG URGES RELIGIOUS LEADERS TO EMULATE BELIEVERS' LOVE WORLD

By Admin

The Minister of Youth and Sports Barrister Solomon Dalung has urged religious leaders to emulate the Believers' Love World in improving the lives of vulnerable young people on the continent. 

Barrister Dalung made the statement on New year's eve at the Future Africa Leaders Awards FALA held at Love World Convention Arena, the International Headquarters of Christ Embassy Church Ikeja Lagos.

"It is worthy of emulation and I think this is the right way to go. What is lacking in Africa is the absence of a mentoring system where young people will derive a practical hope in the future they believe in and the Believers' Love World is laying that foundation for young people. 

"If other leaders hold similar events, it will touch the lives of a lot of young people not only in Nigeria but in Africa. Our leaders must create a political and economic space to accommodate the young people. We must move from sermonizing this to demonstrating it practically and the church has taken the lead. I challenge all leaders including past, present and future ones to get involved practically in securing the future of our young Africans".

The Future Africa Leaders Award is aimed at empowering selected young Africans who have contributed to the development of their country.
The star prize went to 19-year old Taonga Ngoma of Zambia for her passion in working with orphans.

Also in attendance was former President Olusegun Obasanjo
