According to him Our world is a tapestry of cultures, perspectives, and backgrounds, and as results they must therefore embrace diversity, seek to understand different viewpoints and foster inclusivity wherever they go, to help enrich their life and to make them better global citizens.
He urged them to be adaptable, open to new experiences and willing to pivot when necessary, saying, “it’s important for them to acknowledge that setbacks and challenges are part of life, their ability to embrace change will be a key diver of success.”
Prof. Avoke indicated that, life was a series of steps and achievements, and they must not forget to celebrate their small victories along the way as they recognised their progress to keep them motivated and inspired.
