He highlighted the programme pivotal role in shaping young minds and underscored the importance of mentorship, urging youths to seek guides whose values and expertise align with their career aspirations.
He said, "If you want mentorship the first thing is to educate yourself. When you're educated, you have the tool to pursue your dream and ideas. The second step in setting your goal is, what do you want to be? If you want mentorship in politics, go to a politician, for business, go to a businessman. You can't go to Dangote to tell him to mentor you in politics, because it's not his field", he said.
