Ex President of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo has asked youths to reject the toga of leaders of tomorrow, saying the youths are already the leaders of today.
Obasanjo made this call at a Presidential Youth Retreat, themed “Contributing to the Green Economy,” held at the Youth Development Centre in Abeokuta on Monday.
He told the youths to go all out to remove any barrier that could hinder them from demonstrating their leadership capacity.
The former president also urged Nigerian youths to champion the campaign against climate change and push for a green economy.
Obasanjo noted that the adverse effects of climate change caused by emissions of carbon dioxide, such as the resultant abnormal weather conditions, extreme temperatures, flooding, and drought, among others, call for concerns and require the joint efforts of all to halt this disturbing trend.
