Lau who is on a national tour to interact with members of the Islamic sect across the country said that with the growing number of there members begging across the country which he put to about 20 million, “there is the need for the organisation to engage the teeming youths in agriculture, skill training in manufacturing and production of goods to help them to be self reliant and employers of labour.”
” We are determine to stop our people from roaming the streets begging, that is why we are making plans to establish agricultural and skills acquisition centres across the country.” He emphasised.

“We strongly believe that agriculture and skills acquisition remains the best option for job and wealth creation in order to overcome the present economic challenges.”
