“Youths must be self-reliant! Create your opportunities, innovate, and take charge of your destiny. The future belongs to entrepreneurs, not employees. My wife’s vision was to equip young people with skills and resources to succeed,” he said.
In memory of his spouse, he presented cash to youths and young entrepreneurs, championing Fola’s vision of empowering the next generation.
He added: “My wife, Fola, believed in the potential of young people, particularly teenagers and youths.
She was passionate about empowering them with skills and knowledge. In line with her vision, some will also receive free training in fashion design and tailoring.
‘‘This keeps her legacy alive, supporting her conviction youths are our to a transformative tomorrow.”
