Sanwo-Olu cautions Nigerian youths against seeking shortcuts to success
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has advised the youths to pursue the dignity of labour and not use technology for dubious activities.
“Desist from shortcuts to success, develop things and render services that people need or require,” said the governor, represented by his deputy, Obafemi Hamzat, at the 27th convocation lecture of the Lagos State University on Tuesday.
The governor spoke on “Embracing the Future: Navigating the Intersection of Technology and Humanity.”
He emphasised the importance of technology in shaping lives.
“Technology allows us to do things consistently, accurately and speedily, and it saves cost,” he said.
The governor urged the graduating students to incorporate technology constructively in their daily activities.
“We must be careful not to let it run our lives,” said Mr Sanwo-Olu. “Your future is in your hands; grab it.”
