While celebrating young Nigerian youths on the occasion of the
'International Youth Day', former President Goodluck Jonathan says
youths are the greatest assets of Nigeria, as young persons made it
possible for the country to attain the position of the largest economy
on the continent, adding that youths would continue to be his
inspiration.
Jonathan who took to his official Twitter page and urged youths to
continue to develop themselves through positive endeavours, wrote;
"On this #IYD2016 I salute the resilience and creativity of our
youths. From Adichie to Jelani Aliyu, our youths continue to be our
pride.
“When Nigeria’s economy became the largest economy on the African continent, it was and is because of our youths.
“When we perform exploits at the Olympics and other sporting
events, it is because of the great Nigerian youths. Nigeria, and indeed
the world, has no greater asset than our youth and you will continue to
be my personal inspiration.
“My message to youths is to urge you to continue to develop
yourself through positive endeavors. The future is yours. God bless our
youths. GEJ”
Nigeria became the largest economy in 2014, but recently lost the
spot to South Africa as a result of the instability of the naira.
