Lagos State NYCN Chairman Urges Youth to Embrace Patriotism and Work for the Betterment of Nigeria
In commemoration of the historic June 12 struggle and the recent recognition of Democracy Day, Chairman of the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN) Lagos State, Lekan Biliamin Oba, has called on Nigerian youths to unite and work towards building a stronger and more prosperous nation.
In a heartfelt message addressed to the vibrant youth of Lagos State, Oba highlighted the significance of this day in remembering the valiant efforts of those who fought against the military junta and advocated for the annulled 1993 Presidential election, widely regarded as the voice of the people.
Drawing inspiration from the recognition of June 12 as Democracy Day and the posthumous honor bestowed upon the late Chief Moshood Kashimawo Abiola (MKO) by President Muhammadu Buhari, Oba emphasized that the struggle of the past should serve as a catalyst for unity and progress in present-day Nigeria.
“With one of the comrades who led the NADECO struggle now at the helm of the nation as President, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, we have a renewed sense of hope,” expressed Oba. “This is the opportune time for us to put aside our differences and prioritize the collective well-being of Nigeria and Nigerians.”
Addressing the youth directly, Oba urged them to learn from the lessons of the historic struggle and hold steadfast to their patriotism and love for their country. He emphasized that the youth have immense potential and should seize this moment to contribute meaningfully to the nation’s development.
“This is the time for us, as the youth, to step up and take the lead in building a stronger Nigeria,” Oba declared. “Let us break down barriers, let go of any hindrances, and work towards a united and prosperous nation.”
Recognizing the importance of unity in achieving progress, Oba encouraged the youth to set aside their differences and embrace a shared vision of national development. He urged them to harness their talents, skills, and enthusiasm to bring about positive change across all sectors.
As the Chairman of NYCN Lagos State, Oba affirmed his commitment to supporting and empowering the youth in their journey towards nation-building. He called on all young Nigerians to join hands, transcending regional, ethnic, and religious boundaries, to collectively work towards the advancement of the country.
The message from Chairman Lekan Biliamin Oba concluded with a reminder of the youth’s pivotal role in shaping Nigeria’s future. He signed off with a resounding call to action, “Build the Youth, Build the Nation,” encapsulating the essence of unity, progress, and the shared responsibility to work towards a brighter future.
As Nigeria celebrates Democracy Day, the nation’s youth stand poised to make a lasting impact, inspired by the spirit of June 12 and fueled by their unwavering dedication to the progress and prosperity of Nigeria.
