KOGI STATE COORDINATOR
Fellow Youth of Kogi
I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all Corps members who successfully completed their National Youth Service yesterday, March 27, 2025. Your dedication, resilience, and commitment over the past year have not gone unnoticed. You have played your part in national service, and today, I urge you to take the next step—to serve your dreams, your ambitions, and the great future that awaits you.
As young leaders of this state and nation, we must remain guided by values and vision. The National Ethics and Values enshrined in Chapter 2, Section 23 of the 1999 Nigerian Constitution—Discipline, Integrity, Dignity of Labor, Social Justice, Religious Tolerance, Self-Reliance, and Patriotism—must not just be words we recite, but principles we live by. These values are the foundation of strong nations, successful businesses, and transformational leadership.
Think Business, Think Big, Think Outside the Box
The world has changed, and we are in a time of endless opportunities. This is not the time to sit and wait for jobs that may never come. It is time to create, innovate, and lead. The digital economy, agribusiness, artificial intelligence, and emerging industries offer boundless opportunities for wealth creation.
Don’t settle for mediocrity. Kill small thinking and embrace excellence.
Identify problems and create solutions. Every challenge in our society is a business opportunity waiting to be explored.
Leverage technology. Whether in agriculture, trade, or services, technology will drive your success.
Collaborate and seek mentorship. No one succeeds alone; build networks that fuel your growth.
Kogi State is blessed with resources, talents, and strategic advantages. Let us harness them. You are not just job seekers—you are job creators, innovators, and the leaders who will shape the future.
The spirit of excellence must lead you to greatness. Dream big, act boldly, and never compromise on your values. The future belongs to those who dare to be different, and the time to rise is NOW!
Congratulations once again, and may your journey ahead be filled with success, impact, and prosperity.
