My message to all young Nigerians will be a quote from Nelson Mandela: “The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall."
3) Message to the government at all levels in relation to the funding of education.
My message to the government at all levels is that education is the foundation for a nation's growth and prosperity. Adequate funding is essential to ensure that every student has access to quality education, regardless of their background or financial situation. It's not just about building schools or providing resources, but also about investing in the development of teachers, research, and infrastructure that will allow our future leaders to thrive. By prioritizing education, the government can help unlock the full potential of young people, fostering innovation, reducing inequality, and building a more prosperous society for all.
