In an interview by Africa-OnTheRise in 2018, here are some important key points Olabanke Subair (Nee Banjo) stated which I wish to share:
” Our society needs to identify the strengths of Millennials (general Y/Z), which I am a part of. The youth of this generation are more socially, visually and technologically inclined. If African youth are given the opportunity and platforms to express themselves, they are able to provide solutions to many of the problems present in this region by leveraging modern technologies available to them.”
“I wouldn’t say best but I would say a practical way is to avail these passionate youth the opportunity to take up top leadership positions. We need innovative ideas to move Africa forward which I believe the youth are key drivers. Youth are not the future leaders of tomorrow, they are the leaders of Now !.”
“As someone who is an entrepreneur and also a white collar worker, my advice to anyone is first know who you are. I remember dabbling in several businesses over the years in a bid to find a place where I belong. But after I ran a SWOT analysis on myself, I found a balance. Self -Identification is the first stepping in discovering what your dreams are and following them ardently. If you know who you are, your values and goals, you will develop a tunnel vision and focus on fulfilling your dreams; regardless of circumstances.”
