Central Equatoria leaders urged the youths to participate in food production instead of being involved in criminality and low food production.
Deputy Governor Manasseh Lomole Waya called on the youths in towns to return to their villages to farm and solve their family issues instead of staying idle.
The Deputy Governor pointed out that government officials need to make a decision on the youths’ rural-urban migration.
Central Equatoria Cabinet Affairs Minister Oba Cecilia said ‘the current struggle is more than the one in the bush but if we don’t leave laziness, it will not allow us to see the true future of this nation.’
The calls were sounded during an Independence Day prayer at the deputy governor’s house on Saturday.
The prayer brought together elders, constitutional post holders from both national and state governments.
