Williams advises graduands on greatness

By Musbaudeen Shekoni

Chief Executive Officer, CEO, Red Africa, Mr Adebola Williams has urged students to pay the price for greatness, adding that greatness and success do not come so easy but with certain unavoidable commitment.

Williams who was the guest speaker during the City of Knowledge Academy (CKA) Ijebu Ode,  2018 Honours Day programme held at Terra Kulture, Victoria Island, Lagos said, students should think of what to do to add value to people’s live.

According to him, the value anyone adds to people’s live would eventually become the source of his or her livelihood.

‘’Pay the price for greatness; never stop dreaming, thinking, and believing in themselves,’’ he said.

With the theme: “The Rights of a Child,” Williams disclosed how he started his career as a teenager and gradually became whom he is today. He told the youth that they were not too young to dream and act on their dreams.

He said: “When I was a teenager, I would have lunch with my afternoon and dinner with my evening.   I spent my time with older people.   I had in my morning time, the benefit of foresight so I could make decisions others at my age couldn’t.’’
