The Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi,
has said the future of Nigeria’s development is anchored on the strength and
productivity of its youthful population.
Obi suggested that youths should be mentored to avoid crime
and walk on the path to true success.
He said this on X on Monday.
The former Anambra State governor said the statement was
part of his speech at an event tagged SM Fest, an annual international business
conference recently held in Owerri, Imo State capital.
Obi said he had decided to invest ample time in mentoring
the younger generation as they were indisputably the nation’s future.
He said, “Over the weekend, I took out time to interact and
share moments with some Nigerian youths and technopreneurs at an event tagged
SM Fest, an annual international business conference, in Owerri, Imo State
capital.
“I shared with them some critical roles of leadership that I
have chosen to play in whatever capacity I find myself. As part of my
leadership commitment, I have decided to invest ample time in mentoring the
younger generation as they are indisputably the future of the nation.
“I started by introducing myself, availing them of my
bio-data, and showing how I acquired my basic education, which I have
consistently maintained, is necessary. I shared my life lessons as a trader,
with its attendant challenges and successes.
“I reminded them of the need to develop lives of character,
integrity, hard work, and honesty. Above all, I encouraged them to always
contribute to the development of our nation and in building a better humanity.
“I like, therefore, to appreciate the organisers of the SM
Fest Community for their great initiative, and for raising globally competitive
techpreneurs, which is good for our nation. The future of Nigeria’s development
is anchored on the strength and productivity of our youthful population. We
must, therefore, mentor our youths to walk in the path of true success and
avoid crime.
“In the New Nigeria, I see a great future for Nigerian
youths. A new nation is possible”.
