The Manager Editor FactualTimes Online, Oyewale Oyelola has charged Nigerian youth to use social media productively and improve their relationship management skills.

Oyelola spoke on Friday when he visited the Countryside Emerging Leader Fellows (CELF) camp for 2021 fellows in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital.

“You need to be a good ambassador of your community, local government, Kwara State and Nigeria at large. CELF organizers created this platform to groom you to become a change agenda and critical player in community development.

“You also need to start networking and build relationship with other fellows because nobody can succeed in isolation. We all need one another to grow”, Oyelola added.

The FactualTimes Editor appreciated CELF Convener, Lawal Olohungbebe for giving him the privilege to share his thoughts with the fellows, noting that “they are investing heavily on the future of participants.”
