02 Oct Osinbajo shows reasons to face the future with hope

VP Osinbajo says despite the onerous challenges Nigerians faced and endured as a people over the past 60 years, there is still reason to face the future with hope.
Laolu Akande, his spokesman, in a statement, said the Vice President spoke on Thursday at the virtual edition of the Nasrul-lahi-li Fathi Society of Nigeria (NASFAT) Global Youth Seminar with the theme, “A Unified, Peaceful and Prosperous Nigeria”.

Osinbajo said: “I urge you to guard your hearts and protect your capacity for idealism and creative optimism.
“These are the tools with which you will build the Nigeria of our dreams; we have a future worth fighting for.
“Your generation has what it takes to move us away from the destructive and unproductive rent-seeking attitudes that engender conflict and on to the terrain of enhanced productivity.
“Your generation has the tools to usher in a new age of abundance and wealth creation that will lift our society beyond the hunger-induced and poverty-inducing squabbles over a national cake that has ceased to exist.
“As Nigeria seeks to find her proper place in the world in the 21st century, you are our nation’s most important resource.

“It is because of you that a united, peaceful and prosperous Nigeria is very possible.’’
Recalling efforts made in the past to promote unity among Nigerians and progress across different sectors of the economy, he said Nigerians must not relent in striving for a progressive and united country.
