Part of the speech delivered by his excellency, Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola was extracted below:
"We need people to work. It is only through competition that you can make growth and become productive. No successful nation prosper through hand-out but hard-work. We didn't grow up like this, we competed. sustainability requires we built model that we can hand-over. The revolution we need is not street revolution but the revolution of the mind. Education is the first step to building up your mind. Our better days really lies ahead of us. Be self driven rather than been driven. If you're not competing there won't be luck. Compete fairly and honestly because they have values. Let's ask ourselves, Are we in the worst place? No! We can be the new frontier without being in the front, if we choose to be behind. The Nigeria and Ghana empires is about to rise, you have a part to play. Business models have changed. e.g Event managers replacing the traditional way of organizing parties on the streets. Adversity is the strongest asset of great achievers. All of you can become models for the next generations if you stop feeling sorry for yourselves and start doing something productive for yourselves."
