ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Tinubu Sends Urgent Message To Youths Over Japa Syndrome, Makes Shocking Demand
In a heartfelt address at the combined 29th and 30th convocation ceremony of the University of Uyo, President Bola Tinubu called upon Nigerian graduates to embrace patriotism and resist the allure of seeking opportunities abroad. The event took place at the university’ s permanent site along Nwanniba Road on Saturday, where Tinubu was represented by Professor Owunari Georgewill, Vice Chancellor of the University of Port Harcourt.
During his speech, the President urged the newly minted graduates to become catalysts for positive change in society. He emphasized the importance of leveraging their education and skills to address pressing social issues, thereby contributing to the progress of both Nigeria and the global community. Tinubu expressed a strong appeal to their sense of national pride, encouraging them to refrain from the temptation of quickly searching for better prospects overseas. He asserted that it is possible to cultivate equally rewarding opportunities within Nigeria, suggesting that the country can develop its own ” greener pastures. ”
Acknowledging the myriad challenges currently facing the nation, Tinubu reassured the graduates that his administration is actively implementing strategies designed to alleviate the difficulties experienced by citizens, particularly the most vulnerable populations. He lamented the fact that, despite the proliferation of educational institutions and research centers, many valuable research findings often remain unpublished and unused, gathering dust instead of contributing to societal progress.
In his remarks, the President called on universities to spearhead research initiatives that are responsive to the needs of society, advocating for inquiry that directly enhances human welfare. His vision is for higher education institutions to not only produce graduates but also generate actionable knowledge that can address real- world problems.
The convocation ceremony not only celebrated the achievements of the graduates but also served as a reminder of their responsibility to contribute positively to the nation. By fostering a culture of innovation and commitment to societal improvement, the graduates can play a pivotal role in shaping a brighter future for Nigeria.
