The Group Chairman of Ojulowo Omoluabi Empire Holdings and Senator of the Junior Chambers International, Victor Eniola-Mark, has warned youths in the country, to be master in trader or industry instead of channeling their strength toward politics alone.
The Realtor said governance will not be successful if there are no professionals manning different ministries and agencies for the smooth running of the economy.
Mr Mark said this during the presentation ceremony of his certificate as a Senator of the JCI in Nigeria.
The JCI Senator is the highest honor given by Junior Chamber International and it lasts a lifetime.
Upon approval, JCI Senators receive a senate number, a personalized certificate, a membership card, a JCI Senate pin and additional programming options at JCI Events.
During the award, the real estate Czar said he would not be bothered if various industries have enough youths to drive the Nigeria workforce.
He also appealed to youths to subjects themselves to quality training, saying only through that can anyone achieve good success.
" I have always enjoin young people below the age of 40 years to always train and develop themselves. We all have the responsibility to develop ourselves because we owe our future that much.
" Alot of people talk about young people taking positions in government, but while I do not neccesarily chastise those who do so, I will say you should first take leadership position in business. If you haven't led 20,30,60,100, 500 people and so on, how do you want to lead ten million and so on? We will only be deceiving ourselves.
"The few professionals that we have now are on the 'Japa' mission, escaping to other countries but we must know that no one will clean our mess for us."
