TOP Nollywood actress, Kate Henshaw, recently engaged some students of various public and private secondary schools and higher institutions in Nigeria.
Henshaw spoke on attitude at a seminar organised by a non-governmental organisation, Charity Runway, in Lagos.
She said all the youths need to succeed in life is to have the right attitudes towards their careers.
She said, “Attitude is all you need to succeed in life. The youths should develop the right attitude towards their work, relationship, leadership, service and life, generally. They have to be like the turning point, where everything changes for the best.
“Everyone knows the difference between right and wrong. Don’t look at the person that has all the money and fame; but look at how to change lives and impact on people, while changing your environment.”
Lagos State Commissioner for Education, Mrs. Olayinka Oladunjoye, lauded the organisers for moulding the future leaders.
Speaking through Mrs. Adepeju Sunmonu, the commissioner promised that her ministry would continue to partner with organisations on the training and retraining of youths for better tomorrow.
“I have been made to understand that the primary vision of this foundation is in guiding our teeming youths on the path to developing practical skills and a positive mindset towards their future,” she said.
She also acknowledged the vital role of the organisation for channelling the youths’ energies towards positive developments and better future.
She, therefore, urged other organisations to take a leave from the Charity Runway.
“This gives me joy. This is because in a country which prides itself as the most populous black nation with active youths, we need a lot more organisations such as this, channelling that massive youth energy and potential into positive results for the betterment of the economy and the society; and by extension, the country at large,” she said.
President of the organisation, Mrs. Chioma Okoye, stated that it was meant to engage the youths and educate them on the way forward in their sojourns in life.
“We are looking at the youths and the areas they have problems while growing up. It is to educate them and counsel them in their careers,” she said.
Samuel Moses, a participant, said he hoped that the organisers would continue to always organise such a seminar for the teeming Nigerian youths.
“I thank the organisers of this programme. I have really learnt something great. I have learnt how to have the right attitude towards my career, among others. I will appreciate it if they can be organising this kind of programme always,” he said.
