One of the speakers, Love Idoko while delivering her lecture on ‘Six Things I Wish Every Youth Knew’ said: ‘’Youths must endeavour to make the right decisions, have a plan, be their own greatest fan, detoxify their lives, read books and be a good finisher.

‘’Success as an entrepreneur starts with the right decision. You must never underestimate the impact a single decision can have as one wrong move can ruin a career, business or one’s entire life. ‘’To be successful, you need to have a plan.

‘’No matter where you are in life, you can be successful if you have a plan for action. You also need to look at your life and evaluate the relationships you keep. Some relationships are energy draining and toxic. ‘’If you are serious about your dream, you have to detoxify your life. You must also read books to update your knowledge and remain relevant in your field.”

‘’Then, how you finish will be remembered longer than how you start. Success is not just about starting something; we need to be consistent to finish what we have started.’’ You will recall at the 2018 edition of the event, a total sum of N2.7million was given to the corps members as grants in Lagos, Imo, Benue and Abuja NYSC camps.
