“Your community service program, fixing up schools, teaching young people to read and write, teaching their parents to read and write, helping to clean up the environment, and especially feeding the poor and displaced.”
“Central to the process of development is what happens in the political system, for development isn’t just about buying and selling; it isn’t just about the rising GNP or increasing foreign investment. Development is about opening up opportunity. It is about fostering dreams. It is about creating justice for everyone; creating prosperity for everyone. It is about forging a truly sustainable future. And perhaps, above all, it is about giving everyone, a voice and hope to the future.”
The national chairman of the All Progressive Congress, APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun in his speech, stated that the fresh graduates will be looked upon towards contributing their quota in national development as the nation needs to move from its present status.
“These are hard times. And when the times are hard, the tough gets going. You are going to join us in proffering solution to the new direction, the new trajectory on which this nation is going to embark from May 29, 2015.”
