The Standard Bearers Islamic Organisation has urged youths to promote peaceful coexistence in the country.
The Kwara State coordinator of the group, Dr Nurudeen Toyin Abdulraheem gave the advice in Ilorin, the state’s capital at its 12th Annual Symposium themed: “Bound in Peace and Unity: A National Rebirth.”
“Nigerian youths should come back as a single nation and contribute their quota to having a peaceful nation rather than calling for secession.
“Our youthful energy and exuberance should be channeled to ensure peace reigns throughout the country rather than promoting divisive tendencies,” he said.
He called on the youth irrespective of their religion to be morally upright in whatever they do.
A Professor of Economics at the University of Ilorin, Gafar Ijaiya stressed the need for justice and fairness as a panacea to insecurity and economic instability.
Dr Aishat Saka of the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital (UITH) reiterated the need for government to address the issue of health care financing and access to healthcare facilities.
