Okoh made the appeal in his address during the interdenominational church service to mark the 62nd Independence Day at the National Ecumenical Centre, Abuja.

 

He said: “I call on the Federal Government to do all that is necessary so that most of these youths will go back to the universities and engage with their studies.

 

“As it is often said that ‘idle minds are the devil’s workshop, idle lips are his mouthpiece.”

 

The CAN President said 2023 is going to be one of the country’s greatest tests, thereby calling on Nigerians to shun violence and other electoral malpractices during the 2023 general elections.
