Youth in Cross River State have been told to imbibe those core values of old so as to be able to make heaven.

 

This charge was given by the Governor of Cross River State, Senator Liyel Imoke during Youth Swagger; a praise and worship program by Grace Consulate Evangelical Network.

Spiced with anecdotes Imoke's story espoused his early life in Nigeria and America maintaining that he was optimistic that with the right attitude and fear of God, the present generation of youth can be successful.
