“Young Nigerians remain our most important investment. Your ideas, your energy, and your commitment to national development are among Nigeria’s greatest assets.
“So, I challenge you to let your digital footprints reflect the best of our nation. Let your actions speak of a generation that did not wait for permission to lead, but stepped forward with courage and clarity.
“Many forces will shape Nigeria’s path to prosperity, but none will be more decisive than the choices made by those who dare to imagine and who possess the skill to build.”
