First Lady Oluremi Tinubu has called on the youth to be focused positively and set their minds on creative things.
She was speaking when she paid a visit to the Yunus Emre Institute, Maitama, Abuja on the invitation of the First Lady of the Republic of Turkey, Mrs Emine Erdogan.
The Institute which was established by the Turkish Government is to train Nigerians in creative arts and other aspects of cultural exchange between the two countries.
“This center provides great opportunities for you to live your dreams as artists. You are not only learning about Turkey but also actualizing your dreams.
“Believe in what you are doing and as long as you set your mind to it, you will succeed. Dream big but do not despise the days of humble begginings”, she admonished.
The First Lady, who inspected some of the paintings exhibited by female Nigerian artists at the center, expressed her delight at the level of creativity while admonishing them to express more positivity in their creative works.
She also was in the classroom of some children from an orphanage who are going through formal education courtesy of the Turkish Embassy in Nigeria.
