The Inspector General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba, CFR, has urged Nigerian children to avoid criminal activities and other perilous and destructive attitudes.
Baba, who was represented by the Force spokesperson, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, stated this on Tuesday at the 5th edition of the Rainbow Art Unlocking Creativity, held at Cyprian Ekwensi Art and Culture Centre, Area 10, Garki, Abuja.
The program, which provided a platform for Primary School Pupils and secondary school students to showcase their innate talents, was chaired by the Minister of Education Hon. Adamu Adamu, and also had in attendance other heads of Ministries and parastatals as well as media houses.
Speaking at the art exhibition and award-giving ceremony, the IGP attributed the decline in young people’s creativity in the nation to their exposure and participation in social vices including drug abuse, cultism, and the excessive pursuit of filthy money at all costs.
He advised the pupils and students to abstain from all social vices, search within, and tap into their intrinsic creative potential for growth both personally and nationally.
