"A non-governmental organisation (NGO), Exponent of Change, has called on the government

to pay more attention to youths for national development.".

"At a press briefing in Lagos on the group’s building of the largest greeting card in Africa; its Leader, Oladunjoye Azeez, described youths as sharp minded and creative, adding that they need the government to channel their energy to the right way"..

He urged the government to create platforms where youths can aid the country’s development.

“There was room for expression in the past compared to what we have now. Let the youths express their creativity and if everybody becomes productive, Nigeria will be a better place. Economy of the West is being run by Small Scale Enterprises (SMEs) today; let try to invest in the youths for them to create their own business and with time, our economy will grow beyond expectation.” he said.

Azeez said the group would build the largest greeting card in Africa to mark Nigeria’s 55th Independence Anniversary.

The card is said to be 10 feet tall made and made with paper. It will be unveiled on independent day in Abuja.

Azeez said: “Exponents of Change is an NGO which serves as a platform for highly talented Nigerian youths to contribute talents, skills and energy toward peace, progress and development in Nigeria. The future of a great Nigeria is now in our hands. We have a great country, but it is a country that is in serious trouble. We have lost the respect of the world. We must now come together to make Nigeria great again.

“Change of leadership is not a one-size-fits-all solution that will transform Nigeria into a better and desirable place as we all desire. We too, the followers, must arise with vision to contribute to the much-needed progress and development in Nigeria. We must be part of the change we want to see.”

He added: “If we all sweep the front of our houses the entire city will be clean; this is a mandate for us at Exponents of Change. We are not out just for event but we rose with a vision to be a major contributor in building Nigeria into a better and desirable place.

“We observed that there is no record of the largest greeting card in history of Africa. So, with this project we hope to mark Nigeria’s Independence Anniversary, and also set Nigeria on the world map and re-brand how the world perceives Nigerian youths.

“We are not just particular about building the largest greeting card in Africa but to also showcase the Nigerian ‘can do spirit’ inherent in every Nigerian youth such that we will inspire and motivate many other youths toward positive and entrepreneurial activities.”
