A non-governmental organisation, The Sought out Generation Foundation has challenged youths to stand out.
The foundation’s empowerment seminar last Saturday at the Lespoir School, Ojokoro, Lagos, focused on the theme: “How to use your career to influence your generation”.
Its founder, Miss Afolabi Boboye, said its mission was to educate teenagers and youths about things they were unaware of.
“If you look around you successful people have stories to tell,” said Miss Boboye.
The guest speakers shared their live experiences to motivate the participants not to give up on life.
One of them, Dr Martins Adeyemi, who holds a PhD in Mathematics and Statistics, urged the young ones to draw closer to God.
“In order to use your career to influence your generation, you must improve your relationship with God”, he said, adding that their future would be determined by what they do now.
He also made reference to exploration and experience.
Mr Kayode Alao, Actor and movie producer, Kingdom Vision Media Network, in his speech spoke about being organised.
“If what you do is something you cannot put organisation in then you cannot impact in your society. What you do must be legitimate. And also you must develop a mindset of helping others”.
The youths were told not to underrate themselves and be determined never to give up.
Mrs Funmilola Adegboye, Career Guardiance Counselor, also advised them to identity their professionalism in order to make impact with what they do.
The empowerment seminar ended with Mr Moses Omoreken’s powerful speech. The journalist counseled the youths to know their value in life.
