Youth Structure 4 Asiwaju (YS4A), also known as Asiwaju Boys and Girls, has urged young Nigerians to take advantage of government initiatives offering access to education, consumer credit and economic opportunities.
The call was made by the organisation’s Secretariat Director, High Chief Godfrey Omoarebu Ogbeide, in an Independence Day message marking Nigeria’s 66th anniversary.
Ogbeide, who is also the Founder and Chairman of The Omoarebu Ogbeide Foundation (TOOF®) and the Aigbugbakheini I of Ozalla Kingdom, identified student loans through the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) and consumer credit opportunities through the Nigerian Consumer Credit Corporation (CREDICORP) as initiatives capable of supporting education, improving livelihoods and promoting economic participation.
“As Nigeria marks 66 years of independence,
may God unite our hearts in love and justice,” he said.He urged young Nigerians to translate access to the initiatives into tangible progress through education, skills acquisition and the development of sustainable livelihoods.
According to him, national development requires both public investment and citizens’ willingness to take responsibility for their future.
Ogbeide said YS4A’s guiding philosophy of Participation, Involvement and Execution (PIE) encourages young people to move beyond awareness to active engagement and measurable results.
“Through PIE, YS4A calls on youth to turn these opportunities into purposeful action and shared prosperity,” he added.
He also stressed the importance of unity, responsible citizenship and constructive engagement, urging young Nigerians to deploy their talents, energy and enterprise towards building a nation of opportunity and shared prosperity.
