Chief of Staff to the President, Prof. Ibrahim Gambari says young citizens are fortunate to be Nigerian.
Gambari also noted that President Muhammadu Buhari will be remembered for leaving a legacy of credible elections and infrastructure.
He spoke on Sunday when members of the Legislative Mentorship Initiative (LMI) visited the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
”I think you are fortunate to be born a Nigerian”, Gambari told the visitors.
The CoS stressed that Buhari had laid a solid foundation for youth empowerment in Nigeria.
Gambari said the President’s commitment to youth development was displayed through the signed Startup Act 2022.
A similar Act recorded tremendous successes in Morocco, Tunisia and India, the senior aide added.
Gambari listed the 2nd Niger Bridge, Lagos-Ibadan expressway, Abuja-Kano expressway, roads and railways, ports and power sector improvement, as Buhari achievements.
“He is committed to leaving by the time the administration comes to an end on May 29, 2023”, he noted.
Gambari, a former Foreign Affairs Minister, served as Nigeria’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations.
He was the first UN Under-Secretary-General and Special Adviser to Secretary-General on Africa (1999-2005).
This Information rather has not done too well in the minds of the Nigerian Youths, as
The Statement made by Proof Gambari that Youths in Nigeria are lucky to be Nigerians has only made youths Angry.
Interview done in Wuse,Abuja Nigeria and Gwarimpa, Abuja Nigeria, early work hours on Monday 7 November 2023, did not agree with the statement,
Adams Abu from Wuse, said that Nigeria in recent times has been extremely exhausting and there is nothing Lucky about such experience., Sadly he said he wish he wasn’t a Nigeria.
Abosede Olumide from Gwarimpa Nigeria pointed her discussion to fuel suffering and scarcity said there’s nothing Lucky about having raw materials and still be suffering for Products from it, in the midst of this she said she’s glad that light is becoming better and she hopes there won’t be any grid collapse.
Are Nigerians then truly Lucky? Or this is just a statement.
