Tehile extended a hand of collaboration to fellow leaders, stakeholders, and partners, urging unity to build a Nigeria where no youth is left behind. “Let us march forward together, with courage, unity, and determination, to build a Nigeria that reflects the brilliance of its youth,” he concluded, earning a resounding applause.
The speech, shared widely on social media platforms like Facebook, has sparked hope and optimism among Nigeria’s teeming youth population.
