Enugu State Governor, Dr Peter Mbah, has advised youths of the state to embrace technology and imbibe the virtues of hard work, courage, and empathy to make success out of their lives.
Mbah also emphasised that contrary to popular belief, courage often manifests in knowing when not to put up a fight. He gave the advice when the wife of the governor, Mrs Nkechinyere Mbah, led participants in the Custos Care Foundation August Bootcamp on a visit to the Government House, Enugu, yesterday.
“There is no shortcut to success. There are things that we must imbibe to get to our destination and nobody, not even your circumstance of birth, can stop you. The only thing that can stop you from getting from your current situation to where you want to end up would be yourself.”
While commending the Custos Care Foundation, a non-governmental and not-for-profit organisation founded by the governor’s wife, for awarding scholarships to Enugu youths, who performed outstandingly in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, he assured the youths that his administration was already thinking ahead to equip them and the generations following them with necessary skills to excel in the contemporary world.
Speaking earlier, the Executive Director of Custos Care Foundation, Egodi Igwe, said the August 2024 bootcamp programme themed, “Enugu Youth Aspire, was deigned to empower, educate and inspire the youths of Enugu State.
