Lady Alex Ibru advises youths to shun indolence, embrace hardwork
By Taiye Olayemi
Lady Alex Ibru, Chairman and Publisher, Guardian Newspaper, on Monday called on African youths to shun indolence and embrace hardwork.
Ibru gave the advice at the ongoing 19th AKWAABA Africa Travel and Tourism Market, on Monday in Lagos.
She noted that the only route to make remarkable success was through hardwork.
She said another factor that could guarantee success for the youth was to stay focused on specific goals and not take multiple professions at the same time.
“I advise the youth to always remain focused toward achieving success and this is through hardwork. It is important to make success of your lives.
“As humans, aging starts from our feet upwards, exercising our feet is a life-long task. So, we must work to keep being successful and healthy.
“Don’t dabble into two different businesses, embrace partnership but not with close friends,” she said.
Ibru also urged parents to cultivate healthy relationships with their domestic staff, saying they
deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.
Earlier, Ikechi Uko, organiser of AKWAABA Africa Travel and Tourism Market, commended the efforts of Nigerian youths blazing the trail in the tourism and hospitality industries. (NAN) (nannews.ng)
