[00:24:38] assets class. He told the audience that
[00:24:42] growing population of Africa is an asset, and by
[00:24:46] 2050, Africa will produce a quarter the world cities'.
[00:24:51] to get assets out of our growing population, education
[00:24:55] must be world class, educated persons must be
[00:24:58] wellf and access to health careare must be
[00:25:02] assured, unless Africa achieves these three
[00:25:06] goals, our growing population dynamics will challenge
[00:25:10] us into negativity. young people are
[00:25:13] not a liabilities, human potential is not a
[00:25:17] liability, the liability is when
[00:25:21] systems in African countries fail to
[00:25:24] develop, protect, connect and utilize
[00:25:28] that potential. for
[00:25:31] quality education is a liability.
[00:25:35] inadequate healthcare system is a
[00:25:38] liability. skills mismatch creates a
[00:25:41] liability. unemployment and under employment
[00:25:45] create liability. lack of access to
[00:25:49] finance. creates a liability, unreliable
[00:25:52] electricity creates liabilities with poor
[00:25:56] infrastructure and weak institutions
[00:25:59] create liabilities. Mr. tunubu who used the
[00:26:03] occasion to mark his birthday, pleged more work
[00:26:07] accelerating national growth for Nigerian
[00:26:10] news. a country cannot indefinitely
[00:26:14] consume what it should invest or reward
[00:26:17] access over enterprise and expects his younger
[00:26:21] people to prosper. there will come a time when
[00:26:25] someone must comfort the arrangements
[00:26:29] and i'm proud to say that that time has come.
[00:26:32] President did not choose
[00:26:36] Nigeria, the inherited, they did not choose the Nigeria inherited
[00:26:40] from its predecessors, yet his administration chose to confront
[00:26:43] the challenges of our nation, not for itself alone,
[00:26:47] but for the benefits of those who come next, for
[00:26:51] us, the young generation, removing the fuel
[00:26:55] subsidy, reforming the foreign exchange system and
[00:26:58] overhalling taxations are decisions about how
[00:27:32] hello, mentor a young
[00:27:36] person that you know cannot pay pay you
[00:27:39] back, my set of
[00:27:42] people
[00:27:43] hire a young person that has no experience,
[00:27:47] but monitor that person. among those who attended the events
[00:27:51] were minister of that, Mr. John, minister of
[00:27:54] aviation and aerospace development, Mr. Festus Kamo,
[00:27:58] representative the governor of Delta state and
[00:28:02] traditional rulers from oyo and legos
[00:28:05] states, tvc
[00:29:41] state government has urged parents and guardians to prioritize the education
[00:29:44] the girlchild and reject child marriage. The coordinator office
[00:29:48] the first lady, Edesole, made the call during
[00:29:52] event to mark the international day the girl child at
[00:29:56] government house within city. The first lady said the
[00:30:00] apebulo administration was committed to removing barriers
[00:30:04] to girls development, urging parents parents to
[00:30:08] support their daughters to discover their potentiture and pursue their
[00:30:12] dreams. my advice to parents is to invest in their
[00:30:16] children's education, let the girl child know that she has
[00:30:19] value, she's appreciated, allow her to dream and don't
[00:30:23] put her into early marriage. um, marriage is good when the
[00:30:27] time is right, so my advice to children is to invest more in
[00:30:30] education and let
[00:30:32] them know their potentials allow the girlchild to reach her full
[00:30:35] potential as i always say the
[00:30:38] girlchild have they have basic rights, the right to education, right to
[00:30:42] freedom, right to association and all the rights we have in our
[00:30:45] constitution. it's important that we let the girl child know her rights
[00:30:49] and so that she can grow well. learned a lot
[00:30:53] today, learned that as a girl child we should never be silent, we should
[00:30:57] flow with confidence, we should never be silent and
