PRESIDENT BUHARI TO NIGERIAN YOUTHS: WHATEVER THE SITUATION, WE MOVE
In a speech by President Muhammadu Buhari, delivered by his deputy, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, Nigerian youths have been encouraged to remain resilient and keep moving whatever may be the situation.
“Wherever you are in this country, whatever you are doing, keep moving , don’t look back, you will win eventually, keep moving ahead, whatever the situation – We move, ” the President said while declaring open a three-day National Youth Conference today at the Moshod Abiola National Stadium in Abuja.
In a highly inspiring speech that details some of the advances that Nigerian youths are making nationally and globally across sectors, the President assured young Nigerians that now is the time for them to engage and work assiduously to achieve personal and national objectives.
He encouraged young Nigerians to mobilise and participate in the political and national development process, noting that with them, and the Government together “it is within our power to emerge stronger,” from wherever the nation is at present.
He advised the Nigerian youth not to succumb to cynicism and hopelessness, adding that they are “our reservoir of hope.”
After delivering the President’s speech the VP interacted with young people at the conference and went round some of the exhibition booths mounted by some young MSMES.
