NO fewer than 500 Nigerian youths
are languishing in Japanese prisons over alleged drugs and other related
offences, a Nigerian-born cleric, Bishop Enoch Adebayo, has said.
Adebayo, who is the President of the
Nigeria-Japan Chamber of Commerce based in Japan, told newsmen in Lagos,
yesterday, that the Federal Government should take immediate action to save the
lives of the youths.
He said: “But the Chamber has been
educating more than 3,000 Nigerians among them and the youths resident in
Japan, that the future of Nigeria is very rosy and bountiful, which will propel
Nigeria to come a world power in the next 10 years.
“Nigerian youths should be honest,
hardworking, resourceful, faithful and be able to plan ahead. We have been
educating them not to cross the ‘red line’ in order not to fall into the same
temptation and mistakes our past leaders found themselves.”
He urged Nigerian leaders to live by
example because the youths and their children are watching their footsteps.”
Bishop Adebayo disclosed that the
Nigeria-Japan Chamber of Commerce was working to attract many manufacturing
companies, including vehicle manufacturers, to Nigeria.
He added that government should
provide an enabling environment for Nigerian businessmen to operate, so that
they will stop relocating.
