Rev. Dr. Cyril G. K. Fayose, General Secretary of the Christian Council of Ghana, has voiced concern that terrorists and extremist groups may recruit vulnerable church members for their activities.
"The most pernicious aspect of this whole terror panic is when terrorists can recruit members of our own churches, coworkers, and brothers and sisters to do the damage." "That's the most terrifying thing," he remarked.
Rev. Dr. Fayose emphasized that young unemployment, as well as the country's strife and pessimism among our youth, might provide fertile ground for recruiting such individuals, which is the most challenging aspect.
It is critical that we address some of the economic concerns behind youth unemployment. It's a wider issue, therefore as a country, we must work hard to address some of the issues that young people face, he stated.
The Christian Council of Ghana, according to Rev Dr Fayose, is working to address young unemployment.
"We're working with the Ministry of Finance and other organizations like the NEIP to provide skills training to individuals and vulnerable persons who are unemployed so that they can support themselves." We did it last year, and we'll do it again this year. "That's our modest contribution to the solution," he explained.
