The SGF made the disclosure when a 15-man powerful delegation of National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) led by its President, Comrade Lucky Emonefe paid him a courtesy call in Abuja.
He said that it’s part of the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to bridge leadership vacuum by grooming youths for leadership positions in order to contribute their quota to the economic development of the country.
Having thanked the youth for supporting the Tinubu-led administration, Sen. Akume charged the youths to be role models as their younger ones look up to them for inspiration.
Senator Akume said:”You want to be like me, those behind you will also want to be like you. You’ve been to school and you are doing well, they want to do the same thing and you become their role models”.

The President of the All African Students Union (AASU), Comrade Osisiogu Osikenyi Enyinnaya showered encomiums on the SGF for his passionate support to Nigerian Students at the continental level which has contributed immensely to his success story as President of AASU along side the one-time President of West African Students’ Union (WASU), Comrade Romans Pillah, among other Nigerian Students.
