The responsibility of Nation building rest solely and squarely with the Leaders but the youth as well as its citizen both in Nigeria and in the Diaspora have a role to play.

As the nation forges ahead in a new direction and presidency, we all need to get back to the drawing board and decide what is best for our nation, renew our pledges to our country, reshape our perspectives and recognize our responsibilities to our Country. We can do all things in togetherness if all our visions for our country become realities, deeper commitments, and selfless efforts. After all, aren’t we all stakeholders in the success of Nigeria?
