He said, “To my fellow youth, it is time for us to be thoughtful and see the future ahead as an opportunity to remain committed to peace, which is a perseverance for greatness in the trajectory of one’s life.
Altogether, I rejoice with the youth specifically the ones residing in Agboyi-Ketu LCDA, whom I regard as worthy role models for others to emulate.
