Governments at all levels have been urged to create an enabling environment for job creation to ensure economic prosperity in the country.

The Bishop of Diocese of Kwara (Anglican Communion) and Chairman Christian Association of Nigeria, Kwara State Branch, Right Reverend Sunday Adewole made the call while delivering his Christmas sermon titled, “Behold The King” at the Cathedral of St. Barnabas, Sabo-Oke, Ilorin.

He said government should make provisions for the citizens to farm or venture into private enterprise that will make them self-reliant.

Right Reverend Adewole advised Christians and other Nigerians to shun laziness and work hard to feed their families.

According to him the era of searching for scarce white-collar jobs has gone, adding that everyone needs to start a trade before it is too late.

He advised Christians to have faith in God and serve him with all sincerity.

Right Reverend Adewole assured them that God will change the situation in the country for the better.

In his remarks, shortly after the church service, the Deputy Governor of Kwara State, Mr Kayode Alabi advised Christians and other Nigerians to love one another and live in peace.
