Celebrating a momentous day as we bid farewell to an incredible chapter and welcome new beginnings.
Siasia spoke in Abuja on Friday when he handed over the affairs of the forum to David Osadolor as his successor.
He said the political class in the country would bear the consequences of the mass exodus of Nigerian youths abroad because of the failure to provide an enabling environment.
The NYPF former president lamented that many young Nigerians who seek greener pastures abroad endanger their lives following illegal routes.
We are grateful for the impactful leadership of our outgoing chairman, Moses Siloko Siasia, and thrilled to welcome the dynamic new Executive of the Nigerian Young Professionals’ Forum (NYPF) under the leadership of Mr. David Osadolor.
In his brief remarks, the new NYPF President noted that Nigeria as a developing nation cannot grow without vibrant SMEs, a sector which he described as critical to the survival of the nation.
He said he is coming on board to expand on NYPF’s sustainability goals, and building on the “three i’s Innovation, Industry and Infrastructure”.
Speaking on the capacity of young Nigerians, Osadolor referenced Victor Osimhen and Assisat Oshoala’s feat at the recently held CAF awards in which Nigeria made giant strides.
“It is a rare privilege to sit here and receive this handover from the outgoing President, Moses Siasia. I’ve followed the forum closely for the past 10 years and Siasia has been an inspiration to me. My life has always been about service and I see this as an opportunity to serve,” he said.
Other members of the newly constituted leadership of the NYPF are: Zahila Lawal (Vice President North); Victor Sameria (Vice President South); Gerald So-George (Advisor); Mayor Ndukaku (Legal Aid).
