Bravehearts Initiative, Lagos State University (LASU), Ojo, in collaboration with the university’s students’ union held its maiden programme tagged: “LASU graduate summit 2012.”

Bravehearts Initiative is established to provide students with opportunity to affordably acquire relevant practical skills and training in Business, Leadership and Entrepreneurship through innovative partnership with credible resource persons and professional institutions.

Basically, the summit was organised to equip prospective graduates with necessary skills and information they need for life after graduation.

Aruosa Osenwegie, the author of Getting a job is a job, who was the first speaker at the occasion said while delivering his lecture that; “the best day of your life is the one you decide, you own your life.”

Charging the students to step out, Osenwegie said; “Find every opportunity to step out because you don’t know the possibility in every step.” He explained the circumstance under which the popular Facebook emerged. “It started with some students in a school who just wanted to create a site but the step they took resulted in what we all love today.”

However, he warned the students about the second biggest problem in Nigeria which is laziness among youths, stating  that only three things matter: What you believe; who/what you trust and what you are willing to do about it.
