In an effort to equip young adults and youth with the skills necessary to generate revenue and become self-sufficient, the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Youth Convention, Region 46, Abuja, has given them sewing machines, hair dryers, clippers, and other equipment.
The church added that the goal of this program was to help the grantees close the gap between financial empowerment and skill development.
Speaking during the RCCG Living Spring Youth Convention in Abuja and presenting the equipment to the recipients, Ola Adejubee, Pastor-In-Charge of Region 46, RCCG, Abuja, urged the nation’s Christian community to start empowering young people for a better country.
The pastor also urged clergymen across to refocus youth’s focus on learning skills for the country’s development, while encouraging young people to keep sharing God’s message for historic success.
“Consider something, pray, and see God’s manifestation in everything you do,” he continued.
The host and Regional Youth Pastor of RCCG Region 46, Pastor Kayode Emosu, also spoke at the event and stated that raising the living standards of Nigerian youths was the main goal of empowerment.
He said that empowering young people would result in a sharp decline in crime and criminal activity nationwide, not just in Abuja.
Therefore, in order to guarantee a decrease in crime and criminal activity in Nigeria, he urged the government at all levels to invest in people, particularly the youth.
The goal is to incentivize everyone, he stated. We therefore believed that we could get everyone on the same page.
Additionally, Regional Youth Pastor Region 46’s wife, Pastor Mrs. Victoria Emosu, encouraged the young people to focus on their abilities and refrain from wearing offensive clothing.
Pastor Segun Ademola said he was thrilled with the program for youth empowerment.
Ademola also urged the recipients to use the tools they were given wisely in order to improve both their own and society’s standing.

Rebecca Williams also gave the organizers credit for their empowerment.
“God has been empowering the youth through the church, and I pray that the organizers continue to see God’s favor,” she said.
