In an engaging address to Nigerians on Thursday night during his visit to India for the G-20 summit, prominent Nigerian politician and successful businessman, Bola Tinubu, shared his inspiring journey to leadership and urged the youth of his nation to prioritize education. The statement was released by Ajuri Ngelale, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, who highlighted Tinubu’s path to success.
Tinubu’s rise to prominence as a politician and eventual presidential candidate was attributed, in part, to his unwavering self-assurance and dedication as a diligent student. During the address, Tinubu passionately expressed how education had played a pivotal role in shaping his life and career.
“I worked as a security guard. In school, I worked as a tutor. I excelled in the classroom,” Tinubu declared. His academic excellence and determination not only propelled him through his educational journey but also earned him recognition from esteemed organizations like Deloitte, one of the world’s premier accounting firms.
Remarkably, Tinubu recounted how Deloitte had certified him for employment due to his remarkable background and extensive experience. The certification, he said, opened doors to a world of opportunities beyond his imagination. However, his dedication to his homeland remained unwavering, and Tinubu inquired whether Deloitte operated in Nigeria.
To his delight, Deloitte confirmed their presence in Nigeria and assured him of a supportive network of customers willing to assist him if he ever decided to return home. This anecdote underscored the significance of education as the driving force behind Tinubu’s remarkable journey from humble beginnings to his current position as a prominent political figure.
In conclusion, Bola Tinubu’s message to Nigeria’s youth during the G-20 summit was clear: prioritize education, persevere through challenges, and believe in the power of self-assurance. His story serves as an inspirational testament to the transformative potential of education and determination in the pursuit of one’s dreams.
