As part of the activities to mark the one-year anniversary of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR's Renewed Hope Administration, I was honoured to attend the "Youth of Our Nation" event on Sunday, May 26, 2024. This esteemed event, hosted by the First Lady of Nigeria, Her Excellency Senator Oluremi Tinubu, CON, took place at the Banquet Hall of the State House in Abuja.
In her address, Senator Oluremi Tinubu highlighted the crucial role of education and stressed the importance of purpose, passion, determination, and resilience in achieving success. Her remarks aligned with the event's theme, "Becoming: Pathway to Success." She highlighted the achievements of remarkable youths, such as Tunde Onakoya, a Chess Master who set a Guinness World Record; Princess Oluchukwu Owowoh, the first Nigerian woman commissioned from the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, UK; Hauwa Shakir, a lawyer and CEO of KuluAbuja, known for her innovative fashion designs; and Iyinoluwa Aboyeji, the Founding Partner of Future Africa, who has transformed the African innovation and investment landscape.
The First Lady reaffirmed that her Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI) aims to complement President Tinubu’s efforts in education, agriculture, social investment, and economic empowerment. She also reminded the youth of the ongoing #ONE NIGERIA/Unity Fabric competition, which offers a N25 million star prize, and encouraged participation from Nigerians aged 15-25 years.
