Peter Obi, former governor of Anambra state,
has asked Catholics to pray for the unemployed youth in the country during
Lent.
Obi made the call in
a tweet on Wednesday.
According to him,
the future of the unemployed youth is being jeopardised by “the situation in
the land”.
The ex-governor also
asked the Catholic faithful to pray for the victims of insecurity in Nigeria.
“As we begin our
Lenten observance today, I urge fellow Catholics around Nigeria to remember and
also pray for all those killed across Nigeria as a result of the looming
insecurity,” Obi wrote.
“Let us also put in
our prayers, the teeming unemployed youths in Nigeria today, whose future is
being jeopardised by the situation in the land.”
Sadiya Umar Farouq,
minister of humanitarian affairs, disaster management and social development,
said in October that over 40 million Nigerians are unemployed.
A month later, the
senate asked the federal government to declare a state of emergency on
unemployment in the country.
