Youths across Nigeria have been urged to embrace hard work as the most reliable path to economic freedom.
Chibuikem Emmanuel Onyekachi, Managing Director of Powell Homes and Shelters Limited, made this call while addressing newsmen in Enugu. He emphasized the importance of diligence and resilience, noting that these qualities can open doors to opportunities and economic independence.
Onyekachi encouraged young people to focus on building sustainable skills and ventures instead of seeking quick gains. “Our nation needs young minds who are not only willing to dream big but also ready to put in the hard work to make those dreams a reality,” he remarked.
Reflecting on Nigeria’s economy, he pointed out that hard work remains essential for those aiming to overcome financial challenges. He expressed optimism that, with a strong work ethic, youths could find ways out of financial difficulties. “When young people commit themselves to purposeful work and development, they set a foundation for personal growth and national progress,” he added.
Furthermore, he urged both government and private sectors to support youth-focused programs that promote skill acquisition, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy. According to Onyekachi, these initiatives would equip young Nigerians with the necessary tools to succeed, ultimately creating a generation of self-sufficient individuals.
