Mr. Kunle Salako, Nigeria’s Minister of State for Environment and Ecological Management, has issued a call to action, urging the country’s youth to prioritize helping the nation over making demands. Salako delivered this statement on Sunday at the Ayetoro-Yewa Day event in Ayetoro, Yewa North Local Government, Ogun State.<\/p>\n
Being an indigene of Ayetoro himself, Salako emphasized that Nigerian youths should actively engage in nation-building by serving the country diligently, irrespective of their location or circumstances. He drew a parallel with farming, stating that, like a farmer who cultivates and sows before reaping a harvest, the youth must understand that serving one’s country is a prerequisite for it to reciprocate.<\/p>\n
Salako conveyed, \u201cMy advice, especially to the younger ones, is to prioritize service to our land before making demands of Nigeria. If you serve your land, your land will serve you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Assuring the people of Ogun State, the Minister pledged that the Federal Government, particularly the Federal Ministry of Environment, would prioritize attention and support for the state.<\/p>\n
Extending his support for the youth engagement in national service, Salako’s message underscores the importance of contributing to the development of the nation before seeking entitlements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
