The First lady, Oluremi Bola Tinubu, has challenged Nigerian youths to be hardworking and rise to take their place in rebuilding the country.
She gave the charge at the National Convention of the Youth Wing of the Christian Association of Nigeria, YOWICAN in Abuja, with the title: ‘The role of Christian youths in national building’.
Oluremi, who was represented by the wife of the Chief of Staff to the President, Salamotu Gbajabiamila, said the quantum of challenges confronting Nigeria notwithstanding, the country would reach its full potentials. She also encouraged the youth to emulate and imbibe virtues such as courage, integrity, humility and obedience to God as exhibited by biblical characters who shaped the course of history.
