The Director General (DG) of the Dr. Osahon Enabulele Foundation (DOEF), Dr. Osahon Enabulele, has stated that Nigeria at the moment is going through very hard times culminating in a lot of people travelling out of the country(Japa Syndrome) but he has refused to be part of those lamenting.
He was speaking on the occasion of the Edo State Secondary Schools Debate Competition powered by his foundation which was held in Oredo Local Government Area of the state on Monday afternoon.
“Nigeria is going through a lot. Many have travelled out of the country. There are no role models to look up to. We decided that we wont be part of the lamentation,” adding “as a foundation we must bring out initiatives. Part of this is to bring out the confidence in our youths,” he stated.
He asserted that the youths from their engagements have shown that they have “some levels of awareness on the issues that confront us. The solution to the problem of the society can come from the young ones.”
He reminded the youngsters that they have a critical role to play in nation building by giving expressions to the cardinal objectives that he had laid out while charging “the doors of our foundation is always open to you to come and relate with us.”
Dr. Enabulele, who is a Past President of the World Medical Association(WMA), divulged plans he has to make the competition go nationwide in the future.
In the contest, Idia College, Benin, outshone six other schools to emerge winners and are billed to slug it out with some other six winners that will emerge from the remaining six local government areas of Edo South District to produce champions of the district at a yet to be announced date.
