Book Excerpts
“Nigeria’s greatest wealth is not in oil and gas, but in its abundance of energetic youths. The country has a young and dynamic population, with over 60% of Nigerians under the age of 30. This demographic dividend, according provides a significant opportunity for Nigeria to drive economic growth and development. Young Nigerians must join hands to harness this huge, God-given potential”.
Page 15, Chapter One: United By Passion
"Nigeria's problems are not new, but the solutions we seek must be innovative and inclusive, because as young Nigerians, we have the benefit of technology and a growth mindset. And, if Nigeria will emerge as a great country, and be the true giant of Africa, the youths of Nigeria must operate with an entirely different mindset. We must choose cooperation over separation."
