Bishop David Oyedepo of the Living Faith Church has advised Nigerians against travelling out of the country for greener pastures, calling for the need to restore the its “lost esteem.”
“Parents need to reorientate their children,” Mr Oyedepo told journalists in Ota on Saturday, adding that travelling 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.
He added, “We all need to stay in Nigeria to rebuild and restore the lost esteem of the country.”
The cleric called on the federal government to massively invest in human capital to restore the lost esteem of the country.
He stressed the need for more investment in human capital development, as it is the most viable and stable stock that any country could ever invest in.
“There is the need for more investment education because this is the bedrock of sustainable national development for any nation,” Mr Oyedepo said.
He noted that the nation had lost its self-esteem because of the poor investment in human capital through education.
The chancellor, therefore, urged the federal government to create an enabling environment for youths to thrive by reducing those travelling out of the country.
