President Muhammadu Buhari has said he believes in Nigerian youths adding and that they would one day solve Nigeria’s problems.
According to the President who said this on Saturday at the 25th convocation ceremony of the Federal University of Technology Minna, Niger State, youths are the greatest resource the country has.
He said, “No doubt, this gathering signifies hope and promise because our youth — vibrant, energetic and creative citizens — are the greatest resources and pillar of this country. Today may be rough and tough, but tomorrow will be better.
“I have hope in the youth because I see inventors; problem solvers and leaders that will one day make Nigeria greater than my government will make it.”
President Buhari who was represented by the Director of Science and Technology, Federal Ministry of Education, Sunday Chega, told the graduands to see their certificates as a testimony.
He said, “Students should get the grades they deserve when they earn it, and they should not get the grades they do not deserve when they have not earned it.”
He added, “We all have to work for the desired change. As you all know, our administration came to power on the promise of change. Changing our society from the path of corruption in high and low places is a task we all must be committed to.
“It is not a magic wand that a single leader alone can use; we all have to believe in it and we have to work for it. Indeed, inculcating the virtues of honour, integrity and discipline are essentially the duty of the family and educational institutions.”
