The Lagos State Government has called on Nigerian youths to prioritize integrity, discipline, and character as the foundation for national development. Deputy Governor Dr. Kadri Obafemi Hamzat made the charge at a youth programme organized by the Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministry, which drew thousands of young people from across Nigeria and beyond.
