POLARIS BANK BOSS URGES YOUTHS TO PURSUE HIGH-IMPACT CAREERS

The Managing Director of Polaris Bank has urged Nigerian youths to pursue careers that create meaningful value and contribute to the development of the country.

The bank chief said young people should look beyond securing jobs and focus on building skills, businesses, and careers that can make a positive impact on society.

He encouraged youths to develop relevant skills, remain adaptable, and take advantage of opportunities created by technology and changes in the global economy.

According to him, continuous learning and professional development are important for young people seeking to remain competitive in an increasingly changing labour market.

Career experts said youths should consider fields with strong growth potential, including technology, finance, healthcare, agriculture, manufacturing, creative industries, and other sectors critical to Nigeria’s development.

They noted that developing practical skills alongside academic qualifications could improve young people’s employability and entrepreneurial opportunities.

The Polaris Bank boss also encouraged youths to embrace innovation, entrepreneurship, and responsible leadership as they build their careers.

Stakeholders said mentorship and access to professional networks could help young people make better career decisions and understand the demands of different industries.

They urged employers and educational institutions to provide more internships, training programmes, and opportunities for young people to gain practical experience.

Experts said youths could also create opportunities for themselves by identifying problems within their communities and developing solutions that can become sustainable businesses.

The bank chief called on young Nigerians to remain focused, resilient, and committed to personal development while seeking opportunities to contribute to the economy.

Stakeholders said empowering young people with the right skills and opportunities would strengthen Nigeria’s workforce and support long-term economic growth.
