Nigerian youths have been urged not to be discouraged by the state of the nation’s insecurity and restiveness.
The Ekiti State Deputy Governor, Prof. Modupe Adelabu, who made the appeal at the weekend, added that rather, the “youths should look into the future with hope that all will be well.”
Mrs. Adelabu, who spoke as special guest of honour at the graduation of Grange School, Ikeja, Lagos, urged them “to take the bull by the horns by being change agents who will arrest the drift and reshape the country.”
According to her, the youths have what it take to secure a promising and brighter tomorrow for themselves as long as they refrain from folding their arms, but rising up against injustice as future leaders.
She also reminded parents to pay due attention to the upbringing of their wards, stressing that a child’s development can only be total if the home and the school play complementing roles.
Besides, the deputy governor urged parents to prepare their children for future leadership roles by bringing them up in the way of their lord, even as she described education as the best legacy any parent could bequeath to his or her ward.
She told her audience that education has been given a priority attention as the fourth on the Eight-Point Agenda of the Ekiti State government under the leadership of Governor Kayode Fayemi.
She said education and human capital development has been pursued with utmost seriousness since the administration took office.
The deputy governor also charged the pupils to be good ambassadors of their homes and the school, which she noted has invested in them what they require for future challenges.
