Tinubu Believes Youths Are Leaders Of Today, Not Tomorrow – Presidency

The Presidency has said President Bola Tinubu believes that youths are leaders of today and not leaders of tomorrow.

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Citizenship and Leadership, Rinsola Abiola, said programmes and initiatives of the federal government are targeted towards addressing the challenges facing citizens, particularly youths.

Rinsola Abiola  said President Tinubu genuinely cares for Nigerian youths and takes issues concerning young citizens as a priority.

Mrs Abiola said this on AIT Weekend Show on Saturday. She stated that the current reduction in the prices of tomatoes and peppers showed the actions taken by the government have started yielding fruits.

“To the young people of Nigeria, this is an administration that genuinely cares about you and is fully aware of its responsibilities towards you. President Bola Tinubu does not believe that young people are leaders of tomorrow, he believes they are leaders of today. We have a president who is fully aware of his responsibility to the country, who loves young people very dearly, prioritizes young people and has you at heart.

“Initiatives are being put in place, actions are being taken, a bag of tomatoes and pepper have gone from around ₦180,000 to ₦32,000.”

President Tinubu’s aide on citizenship and leadership added that the government has also taken bold steps against corruption. She added that money recovered from corruption cases has been channelled to student loan schemes to ensure the resources of the country work for the citizens.

“Talking about the issues of corruption this government has channeled the proceeds of corruption into social investment schemes like the national educational loan fund and credit corporation, ₦50 billion each recovered from corruption cases have been channeled to this initiative.

“And that speaks to the commitment of the president to actually make Nigeria resources work for the Nigerian people.

“These are initiatives that would mostly benefit the young people. I would like to encourage our young people to take advantage of initiatives that have been put in place,” Abiola added.
