Osinbajo Challenges Young Nigerians To Become Problem Solvers Amid Pandemic
A file photo of Professor Yemi Osinbajo at an event in Abuja on March 28, 2019.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
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.” To the staff of the College, it is to your knowledge, and expertise and your experience that our most important national resources, these young people are committed year in, year out. And you must be doing many things right to have received the Outstanding Cambridge Learner Awards, top in 2017 and the awardee of the high achievement in Cambridge A level Law in 2018. Congratulations and very well done.
The generation that should take advantage may sometimes even miss the opportunity, because as human beings our inclination is to look back rather than ahead. We seek comfort in the familiar things, the known course of events, we want progress but we still want things to be the way they were. So, what should you do as a game changer? I think one of the critical things to recognize is that you cannot stand on the queue anymore.
