Honourable Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Timipre Sylva has called on vibrant youths in Nigeria to come up with creative ideas to help improve the country.
Sylva made the call when he played host to ace Musician David Adedeji Adeleke popularly known as Davido at his office recently.
The country’s energy Chief and the top composer discussed art, politics, youth empowerment and harmonisation of the various age grades in the country.
“Your generation is a smart one, obviously, but it must proffer solutions too. If we all blame ourselves then we are farther and farther from any real solution. We must all harmonize, brainstorm and come up with creative ideas to improve life in our dear country,” Sylva said.
On fulfilling the resolutions on the #endsars protest, the minister assured Davido that the country, led by President Muhammadu Buhari, is on a fair and right trajectory. They also discussed the possibilities of building platforms for youth development and talent discovery.
David Adeleke expressed his support for the Minister’s signature gas initiative, especially the National Gas Expansion Program, NGEP, and the Autogas schemes designed to lessen dependence on PMS, a costlier, heavier and less eco-friendly version of fuel compared to gas.
