Young people are a critical mass that may make Nigeria stand out, according to Pastor William Kumuyi, General Superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, who made this claim on Friday. However, in order to accomplish this, they must be led and given the proper principles.
Prior to the international children’s and teenagers’ convocation, which was jointly organized by Global Crusade and Kumuyi, GCK, he spoke virtually at a press conference in Abuja.
Pastor Kumuyi believes that Nigeria has a promising future and that its youth are a crucial component of that future.
Therefore, he highlighted the significance of identifying young individuals early and instilling the proper ideals in them.
“Nobody is born a doctor, an engineer, an achiever, a militant courageous soldier. We’ll all start at the ground level,” Kumuyi added.
Speaking also, the FCT Overseer of DCLM, Pastor Elijah Adebiyi, who echoed Kumuyi’s sentiment, stated that the convocation is open to children and teenagers between the ages of 5 and 19 and will provide a platform for young people to interact with one another and learn from experienced teachers.
Adebiyi said, “We believe that young people are the future, and we want to invest in them.

“Nigeria is a ‘country of the young’ with almost half the entire 200 million strong population, 46 percent, currently under the age of 15, while for children under the age of 5 stands at nearly 31 million, and annually at least 7 million babies are born.
“This is a critical mass of Nigerians that can make our country stand out if we catch them young by inculcating in them spiritual, academic and moral values.
“The children and teenagers convocation is an opportunity for young people to come together and learn from experienced teachers who are committed to providing them with the right values and skills to succeed in life.”
The global children and teenagers convocation will take place from May 11th to May 14th, 2023, at the Main Bowl of the Moshood Abiola National Stadium, Abuja.
