Nigerian youths should be job creators: David Oyedepo
The chancellor of Covenant University, Ota in Ogun, David Oyedepo, has called on the youth to be job creators rather than job seekers to be more impactful.
Mr Oyedepo gave the charge on Thursday in Ota.
He said Nigeria had an unemployment challenge, adding that job creation would tackle it.
Mr Oyedepo urged the youth to be change agents and solution providers.
The chancellor said that youths should be contributors rather than job seekers.
According to him, every contributor becomes successful.
“You can’t be a contributor and end up a failure. What you don’t resist has the right to remain, and what you don’t confront, you can’t conquer.
“Think of a problem you can solve,” he said.
Mr Oyedepo urged the youth to think out of the box and get different but desired results.
