A Former General Secretary of the Nigerian Bar Association, Jonathan Gunu Taidi has urged Nigerian children to reverse the mediocrity which has been the bane of the country’s development as they grow into roles of responsibility.
He noted this in a statement to celebrate Nigerian children as they join their counterparts world over to commemorate Children’s Day.
In the statement made available to TheNigeriaLawyer, he narrated that at conception, Nigeria held a lot of promise which have been dwarfed over the years due to deceptive and inept leadership.
He encouraged the children to grow up with determination to do the right thing and improve the lot for the nation for posterity sake.
The statement reads:
Dear Children,
You were born into a country many of us grew to know as Nigeria.
Nigeria held a lot of promise at conception, and was a country you would have been proud of. Sadly, over the years, the huge potentials have been dwarfed by so many harmful legacies including: epileptic power supply, poor infrastructure, low productivity, poverty and insecurity, all bequeathed to us by several years of deceptive and inept leadership.
As you grow, learn to reverse the mediocrity that has become our bane. Grow up with determination and the will to do the right thing so that generations after you will respect how you refused to continue on the deplorable path that was handed to you.
As always, I wish you a happy Children’s day.
