Bishop Adebayo, President of the Nigeria-Japan Chamber of Commerce, said government should do everything possible to save the lives of the youths. He spoke to reporters in Lagos.
According to Rev Adebayo, who is married to a Japanese woman with six children, said the Chamber of Commerce had tried all it could to save the youths but to no avail, because of the large number of the offenders and the alleged lukewarm attitude of the Nigerian Ambassador in Japan.
He claimed that the youths must have engaged in the unholy business because of lack of jobs and that they (youths) believed they had no future in their country, Nigeria.
“But the Chamber has been educating over 3,000 Nigerians among them, the youths resident in Japan that the future of Nigeria is very rosy and bountiful, which will propel Nigeria to become a world power in the next ten years. Nigerian youths should be honest, hardworking, resourceful, faithful and be able to plan ahead. We have been educating them not to cross the ‘red line,’ in order not to fall into the same temptation and mistakes our past leaders found themselves,” advising Nigerian elders and leaders to behave well, because the youths and their children are watching their footsteps, either for good or bad.”
Bishop Adebayo disclosed that the Nigeria-Japan Chamber of Commerce was working frantically to attract many manufacturing companies, including vehicle manufacturers to Nigeria to set up their industries.
