The Chairman, Chapel Hill Denham Group, Mr Wale Edun has express optimism that youths can
make it in the country despite the biting economic crunch.
Edun spoke at the weekend while addressing students at the Arise Africa Foundation graduation ceremony held in Ikoyi, Lagos.
According to him, the competition abroad is high compared to what obtains in the country.
While admitting that people get good training in other parts of the world, he however said, living and working in Nigeria was enough motivation for any youth that is self-driven.
“You can compete a lot easier here than somewhere else. Abroad people compete to extort you, elsewhere in the world there is real competition. There are a lot of good people there but they can’t get a job. Instead of crossing to Europe and America where the economies are tight and everything is on hold, stay here.”
The one-time Lagos State Commissioner for Finance also acknowledged that the virtue of hard work was worth imbibing, especially for youths desirous of making good in life.
“Besides hard work, good manners and goodwill make you admirable to everybody. If you have good manners you will come on top. You will be surprised how easy it is to become rich. “It is critical and I will emphasise to you that in everything you do, maintain goodwill.”
Edun also introduced a platform to the graduants which he called a technological platform which will enable them earn money with less stress.
Also present at the event include Africa’s premier Life and Behavioral Change Coach, Mr Lanre Olusola, the Managing Director, Africa Security Ltd, Managing Director, United Capital Security, Mrs Lilian Olubi, Mr Jude Chiemeka, Tola Akerele and a host of others.
