According to him, this shift is crucial for shaping the country’s future.

The call to action was echoed by industry leaders and experts who gathered at the organisation’s fourth annual conference, GiNN 4.0, themed “Rewriting the Nigerian Story: Building the Future, Becoming the Future.”

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Almond Projects Limited, Olugbenga Obadina, warned against the culture of criticism on social media and called for a shift towards problem-solving and innovation. “Don’t join the chorus of complaint. Join the orchestra of creators,” he said.

Also speaking, the Managing Director of Sahara Group, Mr. Kola Adesina, stressed the importance of little beginnings, noting that “Starting small is the best way to become big.”

He emphasised the need for individuals to utilise their own resources before seeking external support, saying, “Before you go out asking for support, use your own resources.”

Adesina further noted the significance of self-confidence, stating, “Bet on yourself first—only then will others be willing to bet on you.”

The CEO of Afrotainment Productions, Bunmi Davies, emphasised problem-solving over complaints. “Foreigners invest here not because they love us, but because they see opportunities. If you don’t solve your problems, others will and they’ll take the profits.”

On his part, the Labour Party (LP) governorship candidate in the 2023 Lagos State governorship election, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, urged the youths to rise up, take action, and defend the future of the country.

Rhodes-Vivour charged the youths to stop complaining and start leading positive change through civic engagement and proactive solutions.

“If Nigeria will succeed or fail, it depends on the youth,” he declared. “You are the beneficiaries or the victims of whatever becomes of this country. It’s time to stop shouting and start acting. Get your voters card, make your demands known, and define a new Nigeria where you can thrive.”

In a goodwill message, Lagos State Commissioner for Youth, Mobolaji Ogunlende, urged the youth to be responsible and good citizen, stressing the importance of discipline, strategic thinking, and integrity in building a better future for Nigeria.

The conference featured discussions and sessions on key areas such as youth leadership, economic development, technological innovation, and policy reform.

Participants explored strategies for driving progress in Nigeria and addressed challenges facing the country’s development.

Former Minister of Youth Development, Dr. Jamila Bio Ibrahim, urged the youths to be unapologetically involved in governance and nation-building.

As part of the event, GiNN introduced the “Young Excellence Awards” to recognise emerging leaders. Nine young Nigerians were honored for their contributions in various fields: Somto Alexander Nnoruga, Olumide Oworu, Habeeb Hamzat Adelaja, Edeh Sylvester Chisom, Victory Ashaka, Chioma Ukpabi, Muhammed Gilmore Adekunle, Christopher Joseph Bassey, and Matthias Busoye.
