Nigerian Youths Are Hungry For Empowerment, Innovation – Adah

Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Ochacho Group of companies, Mohamed Adah, popularly known as Ochacho, has called for the right kind of leadership to be provided for Nigerian youths as a way to build their capacity to achieve a strong, economically viable, and politically stable country.

Adah stated this during a courtesy visit by some Nigerian youths to Ochacho Head office in Abuja.

He said, “Nigerian Youths are one of the most hardworking people in the world; working really hard to achieve their dreams. I believe that one of the greatest assets we have as a nation is in our young people. I have been to different universities, to different countries and spoken to these young people – there’s a hunger for innovation among them.

“What we lack as a nation is not in creativity. What we lack as a nation is more in leadership, not only political, but the community and family-based leadership, or someone to push the youths and provide opportunities in different sectors.

“Nations like America, China, and other places have identified that their true asset is in their young people.They have created an environment that support people in education, health care, entrepreneurship, and infrastructure.”

Adah, Whose company, Ochacho Real Homes, is building what is been dubbed the biggest hotel in Otukpo, Benue State, said that the Government must prioritize the interest of the Youth for a better Nigeria.

He said, “I want our young people to know that success doesn’t happen overnight. It is a process that often takes time, effort and perseverance”

“Our youths must know that there is no nobility in poverty; to achieve success today is Nigeria, you must be willingly to stay focused, lose friends, be misunderstood, and be unreasonable in your visions.

He added that “Young people must challenge the mundane and risk the unusual. We need to know that Nigeria is a land filled with opportunities”.
