In his remarks, Obasanjo appealed to the youths not to leave Nigeria to those messing it up, noting that they need to keep their head straight amidst their daily struggle for a living.
The ex-leader said despite the challenges in the country, the youths should try to take advantage of available opportunities to make an impact.
“Things are not what they should be but youths, individually and collectively, must make contributions in order to make things the way they should be.
“If you leave things to those who are messing it up for you and who are saying you are the leaders of tomorrow, you will never have that tomorrow.
“God has given you innate ability to be what He wants you to be. If you make up your mind, God will help you and provide people who would help you”, he added.
