Senator Abiru urges Nigerian youths to ‘bond’
Tokunbo Abiru (Lagos East) has called on youths to imitate those who have succeeded through bonding, team spirit, and dedication to hard work.
He made the call on Saturday in Lagos in an interview. The senator spoke on the sidelines of the 35th anniversary of the Alumni Pioneer Class of 1988, Lagos State University (LASU).
The senator urged young people to embrace togetherness and sportsmanship, which encourage the evolution of a better society.
According to him, there is a lot to learn from the class of ’88 because of the members’ spirit of bonding.
“We graduated 35 years ago and went our separate ways, but there is still a bond that is bringing us together. So, the younger generation should learn from such an arrangement, because that is how a society evolves in a proper way.
“The fact that we can lean on one another, reach out to one another, is part of how a society evolves in a very decent manner,” Mr Abiru said.
LASU deputy vice-chancellor (academic), Abiodun Denloye, urged young people to keep learning and relearning, to remain relevant in their chosen careers.
“What you studied yesterday has become irrelevant today; therefore, you have to continue learning and learning more. When I was in school, I studied zoology, but today, I am an expert in biosecurity.
“By implication, the zoology we learnt back then, which was theory, we have become practical in its application, and that has been a major difference. It is good to always want to learn and learn more. We should also embrace team spirit,” said Mr Denloye.
