He pointed out that, Nigeria remains dependent till such a time there prevailing problems are completely eradicated and wiped out.

At the end of the conference, consultations among youths took place at the end of which many of the participants expressed appreciation and accepted to be catalysts for the establishment of a just society, guided by divine injunctions.

Dinner was also organized for the participants.
