Don’t depend on only certificates for survival, cleric advises graduates
Head, Christ Resurrection Church in Ilorin, Kwara State, Jeremiah Abiona, has advised graduates in the country to stop depending solely on their certificates after schooling.
Mr Abiona said in Ilorin that graduates need to learn technical and vocational skills.
He said graduates should upgrade and learn skills which would earn them survival, instead of depending on white collar jobs which are no longer in existence.
Mr Abiona noted that most graduates prefer roaming the streets looking for white collar jobs, instead of starting afresh with new skills.
He said, “Stop depending on your certificate alone. When the white collar job is not coming, seek the alternative. Learn new skills and never be afraid to start afresh with your new skills acquired. Stop wasting your time and years waiting, without having alternative survival means.”
The cleric however advised youths to stop being desperate and focus on their future.
He also advised the government at all levels to focus more on youth empowerment to reduce the rate of crime and other negative tendencies in the country.
