Young Nigerian professionals in the United States
have been encouraged to return to Nigeria and help in
developing the country.
The appeal was made by speakers at a forum
organised by the Nigerian Young Professionals in
New York, United States of America with the theme
“Harnessing the Potentials of Young Nigerian
Professionals Toward Accelerated Development in
Nigeria”.
One of the speakers, Professor Joy Ogwu, Nigeria’s
Permanent Representative to the United Nations,
said the future of the country depended on young
people playing an active role in its development.
One major asset of Nigeria is her population and a
large part of this population is made up of youths.
The challenge of how to translate this asset into the
needed manpower for the country is one that
continues to confront Nigeria.
The chairman of the group, Moses Siasia said
Young Nigerian Professionals were needed to
develop the nation.
Some other key speakers at the event touched on
the need for young professionals abroad to partner
with the administration at home.
The Young Professionals were told to start thinking
of how to help develop their country as every
country needed the resilience and commitment of
her youths to drive the economy.
