In a call for peace and unity, Akwa Ibom State Governor Umo Eno has urged newly deployed National Youth Service Corps members to reject the allure of violence and divisive ideologies. Speaking to a group of 1,471 corps members, Eno emphasized the importance of aligning with patriotic citizens committed to nation-building. His message comes at a time when Nigeria faces rising tensions and political instability.
Governor Eno stated, "It is imperative that you, as future leaders, distance yourselves from groups that promote violence and division. Your role as ambassadors of peace is crucial for our national development." This appeal highlights the state's effort to foster a culture of non-violence among the youth, who play a significant role in shaping Nigeria's future.
As the corps members embark on their service, their choices and actions could have lasting impacts on local communities and the broader socio-political landscape. Eno's plea serves not only as guidance but as a reminder that the youth hold the power to influence positive change in a nation striving for harmony amidst challenges.
