The Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice in Ondo State, Dr. Olukayode Ajulo (SAN), has called on youths across the Southwest to adopt innovation, ethical leadership, and deliberate preparation as essential tools for building a resilient future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking at the Southwest Youth Summit 4.0 held at the International Culture and Event Centre (The Dome) in Akure, Ajulo noted that the fast-changing global environment demands a generation that is proactive, skilled, and purpose-driven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delivering a keynote address on the theme \u201cDriving Lasting Impact: Anticipating & Preparing Youth for Tomorrow\u2019s Challenges,\u201d he stressed that the future must be intentionally shaped through foresight and disciplined action. According to him, \u201cThe future does not come by chance; it is created through anticipation, preparation, and purposeful effort.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ajulo outlined major challenges confronting young people today, including technological disruption, climate change, economic shifts, governance gaps, and increasing social pressures. He urged youths to adopt what he described as a \u201cRenaissance mindset,\u201d blending local knowledge with global innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highlighting government efforts to empower young people, the Attorney General commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for prioritizing youth development under the Renewed Hope Agenda. He noted that initiatives such as the Nigeria Youth Academy and the 3 Million Technical Talent Programme are opening new pathways for skills development and entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quoting the President, Ajulo said Nigerian youths are not only the nation\u2019s future but also its hope for a stronger and more prosperous tomorrow, adding that current investments are designed to equip them for greater opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the state level, he praised Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa for implementing impactful, people-oriented youth programmes. He highlighted initiatives like \u201cOne Youth, One Skill,\u201d nano-grants for small businesses, and the establishment of skill acquisition centres as clear steps toward expanding economic opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTrue leadership is not in words but in the opportunities it creates,\u201d Ajulo remarked, noting that Ondo State is steadily emerging as a centre for youth-driven innovation and inclusive growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He encouraged young people to become ethical innovators, environmentally conscious leaders, and builders of strong institutions, emphasizing that integrity remains a critical asset in today\u2019s world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThink boldly, innovate fearlessly, and act with discipline,\u201d he charged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
