The Director-General of the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS), Kuru, Jos, Professor Ayo Omotayo, has charged the younger generations on the need to embrace values.
He said that if one wants to grow as an individual, one must have core values to which he subscribes, for such an individual to grow.
Omotayo stated this on Friday during the 2025 Alumni Lecture of the University of Ibadan Alumni Association, Oyo State branch, held at Trenchard Hall, University of Ibadan, Ibadan.
Speaking on the topic “Value For Value: Options and Challenges in Re-charting Nigeria’s Developmental Trajectory,” Omotayo, who was the guest speaker at the event, noted that if a nation will grow as well, the citizens must subscribe to what they value, while lamenting that Nigerians are yet to know what their values should be.
He said, “Children of this generation must subscribe to a value for them to be successful in life, while citizens of a nation generally should subscribe to, but unfortunately Nigerians are confused on what our values should be but I am sure with what our president is doing Nigeria will still have a clear idea of what we want our values to.
