The president noted that the chess master has shown a streak customary among Nigeria’s youths, the audacity to make good change happen; to baffle impossibility, and to propel innovations and solutions to the nation’s challenges amid a lot of disadvantages.

Using Onakoya’s example to salute the resilience of youths in the country, the president confessed:

“Nigeria’s youths have demonstrated in all fields, including Afrobeats, Nollywood, the pulsating skit-making enterprise, education, science, and technology, that great exploits can truly come from small quarters.

“I commend the inclination of Nigerians – across artificial partitions – for unity, once again exemplified through their undiluted support for this epoch-making endeavour.”

Tinubu assured all citizens that his administration is committed to creating and expanding opportunities for the youth to explore and exercise their abilities and become the symbols of greatness.
