The Resident Pastor of Christ Foundation Bible Church, Mr. Segun Aiyedogbon, has charged youths to make effective and good use of their time during the lockdown.
Aiyedogbon, who said that the period of lockdown is not a time to indulge in social vices such as robbery, fraud, abuse of hard drugs and conflicts, spoke with the News Agency of Nigeria in Ilorin on Saturday.
He said that youths should desist from keeping bad company during the lockdown, but rather seek to improve their skills and knowledge through online studies.
“This period is not a time to be depressed, lazy or idle, it is a time to re-strategize and plan ahead of time.
“God has given us time but we are its managers, the Bible says there is time for everything.
“Youths should be industrious, so at this time, I think a wise person should be involved in every form of positive learning.
“I see free online courses these days, youths should key into those opportunities and plan for a post-COVID-19 life,” he said.
The cleric prayed for the nation, asking God to heal the land of the pandemic.
