Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on Saturday urged young Nigerians to take advantage of the opportunities available to them and become solution providers despite the challenges created by the coronavirus pandemic

The Vice President made the remarks at the virtual valedictory service for graduating students of Edgewood College, Lagos.

According to Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, “No matter how you look at it, you are unique. The game changed in your generation, you are certainly a class of game-changers. The point with any opportunity is that it must be seized if you are to benefit from it, which is why you must never take your place in history for granted. There is always a divine reason for it.”

He added that “circumstances have moved you ahead. No one has been here before. None of your parents or mine can tell you how life would be in or after a global pandemic. We know some but not nearly all of the challenges and all of the opportunities that will come with it. And if you tell me that you would have to wait until you get into University and even graduate before you start to answer those questions then you are missing the opportunity that history is offering you.”

He further explained that when an opportunity to make history comes, it is often disguised as a challenge, a drawback or even a tragedy, adding that an opportunity often “hardly ever looks like the next great leap of mankind.”

The Vice President noted that young age is a profound advantage in a time of uncertainty such as now and that such times also offer opportunities.

“There is no qualifying age to be a problem solver, an entrepreneur, a great poet, an inventor, or an author,” he said. “Age doesn’t matter. You must from now begin to examine the solutions to the problems that we face and will face now and in the coming years.”

Osinbajo is one of those politicians who always believe in the youths, he keeps encouraging young Nigerians. He initiated the NSIP and youths have been benefiting through the NPower.

Its important at an early age to start knowing likely solutions to basic problems and to note that challenges should become opportunities for us all. The future is now.

You are mad Sir
Problem solvers with what exactly?

Nigerians should not get this message twisted because if you think about the message deeply, you should be gingered and have a rethink on how you can convert the challenges poised by the pandemic into opportunities. I recall when Nigeria recorded the first index case, many Nigeria youths were creative enough by using Ankara materials to produce nose masks, using a local materials to produce hand sanitizer and sold at cheaper rate. Osinbajo is clearly friend of Nigeria Youths.

The youth that makes up the current army for possible GDP generation in the country need to ensure that they learn to identify opportunities as they present themselves especially in this Covid19 period we are now.
