Lack Of Quality Mentorship Is Preventing The Growth Of Our Youths – Remi Tinubu

Remi Tinubu

Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has said that the lack of adequate mentoring for young people prevents them from dreaming big in life. She recently had her say at the commissioning and handing over of digital hall (Dream Centre), built by the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, equipped by the National Information Technology Development Agency, NITDA.

According to her, she achieved a lot through her role models, and it is sad that young girls nowadays no longer have those who will serve as mentors to them.

Remi added that her life story is enough inspiration for young ladies who dream of achieving big in life.

Her words, “I wanted to be a teacher. But today, I was a Senator before becoming the country’s first lady.

A mentor and a mentee is a long-term relationship that both parties should derive benefit and not be one-sided.

I should be a case study for young girls. They will talk about the girl-child every time but nowadays people don’t have role models anymore, we live in an age and time where, even when people are doing well, out of envy, we try to say a lot about them that is mainly not true.

And our young people don’t really see a lot of people to emulate, but role models are still out there. Role models are people who helped me shape my life.

This centre is not for girls alone. It is also for boys. Go into that dream centre, be encouraged, dream your own dreams and you will see that and be prayerful. Seek the face of God, don’t be overly ambitious. What you will become God has already deposited in you; don’t be covetous of other people’s dreams. Build yours.”

WOW.
