He appealed to the government to provide the youth with the necessary support to enable them contribute their quota to the nation's development. The Presiding Bishop urged Ghanaians to pray to God for the sustenance of the peace the country was enjoying. He charged the graduating students to take tackle their assignments with humility and dedication to enable them win more souls for Christ.
