The Speaker of the Ekiti Youth Parliament, Rt. Hon. Olusanya Babatunde Nathaniel, joined a forward-thinking team from the Ekiti Web3 community today as they intensified their campaign for the upcoming Web3 campus tour, scheduled for this Friday. The event aims to raise awareness and educate students about blockchain technology and the growing opportunities within the Web3 ecosystem.
In a statement, Rt. Hon. Olusanya reflected on his office's pivotal role in organizing the first-ever Web3 event in the state upon his inauguration, a partnership that marked a transformative shift for Ekiti’s youth. He emphasized that this ongoing campaign aligns with his advocacy for youth self-sufficiency and a diversified economy.
According to the Speaker, financial independence is crucial for the youth to speak truth to power without fear, and the Web3 space offers them a chance to break free from traditional economic constraints. "The Web3 ecosystem presents a unique opportunity for young people to carve out their own financial paths," he said, stressing that the future of economic empowerment lies in embracing decentralized technologies.
Rt. Hon. Olusanya also reaffirmed his commitment to promoting a diversified economy, noting that the old reliance on white-collar jobs is no longer sufficient in today's evolving global landscape. Instead, he encouraged young people to pursue entrepreneurship, using tools such as Web3 to fuel their business ventures. "Our collaboration with the Web3 community is designed to equip young people with the knowledge and resources to create sustainable wealth in the digital age," he added.
The upcoming campus tour, according to Rt. Hon. Olusanya, will further this mission by engaging students and young entrepreneurs in discussions about financial empowerment and economic independence. He expressed confidence that this initiative will spark a new wave of entrepreneurial spirit among Ekiti’s youth, helping to drive the state's future economic growth.
In his concluding remarks, the Speaker emphasized that the goal is to build a future where Ekiti's youth can thrive and shape the direction of the state’s economy through innovation and self-sufficiency.
Rt. Hon. Olusanya’s participation in the campaign underscores his ongoing efforts to champion the cause of youth empowerment and economic diversification in Ekiti State.
