Seyi Tinubu Advocates for Youth Engagement in Leadership

Seyi Tinubu, the son of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, spoke at the inaugural Seyi Tinubu Colloquium on Monday at Eko Hotel and Suites in Lagos. He stated that his father’s administration did not choose the Nigeria it inherited but opted to confront its challenges for the benefit of younger Nigerians and future generations.

Seyi highlighted key reforms such as the removal of the fuel subsidy, the reform of the foreign exchange system, and the overhaul of taxation, which he described as crucial decisions affecting Nigeria's economic structure. He acknowledged the immediate hardships these changes caused for families but asserted that the long-term benefits would be significant.

Seyi pointed to infrastructure improvements and renewed investments in sectors like power, mining, manufacturing, and agriculture as evidence of progress. He urged young Nigerians to engage in leadership to ensure that current decisions positively impact their future.
