What is your take on the closure of border?

For me, if there is no pain, there is no gain. I think the time has come to develop our creative mind as a nation, to provide what we eat and use as a Nation. China country is an example of that today. So, the closure of the border will make every citizen to wake up to the reality of making Nigeria great again.

You are vying for the national president of NAPS, what would you do differently, if elected?

If elected as National President of National Association of Polytechnic Students (NAPS), I am going to create enabling environment for linkage programs for all polytechnic students, I am going to access the opportunity in the private sector for uplifting of the polytechnic education in Nigeria.
