National Leader of the All
Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu has said leaders of the country must
handover a strong and vibrant nation to young Nigerians.
Tinubu said young Nigerians are
the destiny of the nation, adding that the youths will be better equipped if
their education is entrenched on innovation and new technology.
The APC National Leader said this
while receiving an honorary degree of Human Letters given to him by Ibrahim
Badamosi Babangida University, Lapai, Niger State.
He said: “Education is the light
of a nation, the lamp that helps us see where we are, and the path we must take
to realise our greatness. To educate a generation is to secure that path and
that greatness.
“Indeed, all of us must continue
to do all within our capacities, individually and collectively, so that we can
direct the ship of state with a steady helm and hand over a vibrant and
strengthened nation to these young leaders assembled before us.
“Our young people deserve the
best of what we can give them. Founded in 2005, this university is dedicated to
that excellent and correct purpose.
“We must all board the train of
progress; otherwise, it will pass us by. Our universities must embrace
innovation and new technology so as to equip our talented youth with the skills
for progress in the 21st Century.
“This way, we break the fetters
of underdevelopment and expand the boundaries of economic, intellectual and
moral growth.
“And finally, to you young
people, you have much to learn. Some of the learning will be in the classroom
of this university. Some will be in the classroom of life. Never stop learning.
“Yet, you also have much to
offer. Do not be afraid to dare to be great. You are the destiny and true
greatness of this nation. Never forget it.”
