Nigeria- Director/Co-Founder, Cruise Events Limited, Oreoluwa Adeleke, 30, in an interview with the Punch speaks on her passion for event management and how Nigerians can generate more than enough income for themselves.
"The way forward is for us to make our passion a money making venture. God has blessed every one of us with one talent or the other, that if refined will generate huge income. It is high time an average Nigerian youth looked inward and identified what he or she has been endowed with, develop it and turn it into business.
"The mentality of getting a good job after school should be wiped off our thinking; it kills creativity and frustrates personal development," she said.
"If every student in higher institutions is thinking of what to do after school rather than where to work, the scenario would have been different. The students would have been more dedicated in school because they know that what they take away from school will shape their business ideas and the challenges we have with unemployment may not have been this scary.
"Nigerian youths must take it upon themselves to solve problems. It is by solving problems that their own dreams are realised and opportunities are attracted. It should no longer be fashionable for young people to rely on government to provide jobs for them. Government may never provide enough but we must take our destinies in our hands. Some people have done it and they are successful. This implies that every youth can also succeed in whatever they choose to do if they are determined," she added.
