Easter : YFDA national president felicitates youths, others, seeks FG’s intervention on release of all grants in Nigeria

The National President of a Non- Governmental Organization, Youth Forum for Development in Africa, YFDA, Dr Paschal Anyanwu has felicitated with Nigerian youths and Coalition of NGOs  and CEOs on the occasion of this year’s Easter celebration.

In his Easter message in Abuja, Dr. Paschal Anyanwu, who is also the President of Coalition of NGOs and CEOs in Nigeria admonished them to always emulate the virtues of Jesus Christ which includes sacrifice, humility, peaceful coexistence, love among others.

He said Jesus Christ came to the world to salvage mankind through His crucifixion and death on the cross of Calvary and resurrected after three days.

The National President of YFDA stressed the need for them to be committed to the service of God and humanity as well as develop keen interest in contributing their wealth of knowledge and wisdom to the betterment of the society.

Dr. Paschal Anyanwu used the occasion to once again appeal to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to direct officials responsible for the release of all grants subscribed to by some Nigerians and NGOs in Nigeria to improve their businesses and economic wellbeing to urgently do so, as they could no longer bear the current worsening economic hardship in the country.

Dr Anyanwu  said over 50 million Nigerians who subscribed for the grant over the years, are eagerly waiting for the disbursement, even as he regretted that some of them have died, while many are currently sick, frustrated, depressed, homeless, while some have had their children chased from school in the course of waiting for the grant.

The National President who said he believe in the capacity of President Tinubu to listen to the cry of the dying masses explained that the urgent release of the grant would no doubt increase the confidence of the people especially in the renewed hope agenda of the current administration.

He equally called on Nigerians to pray for the success of the current administration just as he noted that President Tinubu will not disappoint the masses at a critical time as this.

While calling for more measures to support MSMEs in the country, Dr Paschal Anyanwu emphasized the need for more public private sector collaboration towards addressing the nation’s economic challenges.
