Oyedepo Challenges FG On Human Capital Investment
The Chancellor of Covenant University (CU), Canaanland, Ota, Bishop (Dr) David Oyedepo, says the lost glory of Nigeria will easily be restored if the Federal Government resolves to invest massively in human capital development
He said focusing on more investment in human capital development remains the most viable and stable stock that any county could ever invest in for its desired socio-economic development and growth going forward.
Speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Ota, Ogun State on Saturday, the University Chancellor said; “There is the need for more investment education because this is the bedrock of sustainable national development for any nation”.
According to him, the nation had lost its self-esteem because of the poor investment in human capital through education and therefore challenged the Federal Government to create an enabling environment for youths to thrive in order to reduce unemployment and the current exodus from the country.
The Presiding Bishop of Living Faith Church Worldwide aka Winners Chapel, also urged “Parents need to reorientate their children,” adding that traveling out of the country is not the best as there are many youths stranded in foreign countries who could not come back home because of shame”.
“We all need to stay in Nigeria to rebuild and restore the lost esteem of the country. Everyone has a part to play in the recovery of his nation”, the respected Clergy said- NAN
