Kayode Fayemi, Nigeria's Minister of Solid Minerals Development, has called on Nigerian youths, particularly graduates, to stop looking up to the government for solutions to their problems.
Fayemi made this statement while delivering the 2016 convocation lecture of the University of Lagos (UNILAG) ; DAILY POST reports.

 He said: “Quit whining – no one owes you anything. The earlier we realise that no one owes us anything, the better for us and the more prepared we would be to face life’s challenges. Don’t think you are entitled to a job, just because of your parents’ influence or what they have or your good grades.

 “You have to be prepared to bend backwards and do what you might consider to be beneath you, because of the bigger picture,'' Fayemi said.
