Forever Living Products Nigeria, a health servicing firm has hosted a four-day summit for Nigerian youths on wealth creation.

At the opening of the programme in Lagos, the Country Sales Manager, Mr Daniel Ikechukwu said it was to help create healthier and higher quality of life for Nigerian youth.

With the theme: Forever Youth Summit: Building for the future, the firm urged the participan­ts to take charge of their lives.

“They must take charge of their lives and be involved in actions that will transform their beliefs, values, attitude and finances,” Ikechukwu said.

In his remarks, the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Coscharis Group, Dr. Cosmas Maduka, told the youth that there is no limit to the extent of their aspiration­s.

“If anybody had reason not to succeed, the person is me. If anybody had reason to blame God for failing, it should be me. Belief is one of the most important things in my life. Believe in yourself and believe in God. Believe truly that hard work opens the good life,” he said.

The Managing Director of the Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG), Mr Tony Attah shared his grass to grace history with the youth.

“Mine was a humble beginning. I lost my father at age four. I had to withdraw from school at Primary III at age seven. I hawked akara to contribute to the up keep of my family.

“I later came to Lagos and became apprentice in an auto shop to a senior uncle. My life however changed after participat­ing in an aptitude once written in Yamoussouk­ro, Cote d’ Ivoire,” he narrated his experience.
