00:24:06the talent and the capability of our people,
00:24:09domestic capability cannot be compromised, we cannot be exporting
00:24:13so much of our data outside Nigeria and believe that we are an

00:25:24develop, protect, connect and utilize
00:25:28that potential. for
00:25:31quality education is a liability.

00:25:38liability. skills mismatch creates a
00:25:41liability. unemployment and under employment

00:26:36Nigeria, the inherited, they did not choose the Nigeria inherited
00:26:40from its predecessors, yet his administration chose to confront
00:26:43the challenges of our nation, not for itself alone,
00:26:47but for the benefits of those who come next, for
00:26:51us, the young generation, removing the fuel

00:27:32hello, mentor a young
00:27:36person that you know cannot pay pay you
00:27:39back, my set of
00:27:42people
00:27:43hire a young person that has no experience,

00:27:51were minister of that, Mr. John, minister of
00:27:54aviation and aerospace development, Mr. Festus Kamo,
00:27:58representative the governor of Delta state and
00:28:02traditional rulers from oyo and legos
00:28:05states, tvc
00:29:41state government has urged parents and guardians to prioritize the education
00:29:44the girlchild and reject child marriage. The coordinator office
00:29:48the first lady, Edesole, made the call during
00:29:52event to mark the international day the girl child at
00:29:56government house within city. The first lady said the
00:30:00apebulo administration was committed to removing barriers
00:30:04to girls development, urging parents parents to
00:30:08support their daughters to discover their potentiture and pursue their
00:30:12dreams. my advice to parents is to invest in their
00:30:16children's education, let the girl child know that she has
00:30:19value, she's appreciated, allow her to dream and don't
00:30:23put her into early marriage. um, marriage is good when the
00:30:27time is right, so my advice to children is to invest more in
00:30:30education and let
00:30:32them know their potentials allow the girlchild to reach her full
00:30:35potential as i always say the
00:30:38girlchild have they have basic rights, the right to education, right to
00:30:42freedom, right to association and all the rights we have in our
00:30:45constitution. it's important that we let the girl child know her rights
00:30:49and so that she can grow well. learned a lot
00:30:53today, learned that as a girl child we should never be silent, we should
00:30:57flow with confidence, we should never be silent and
