Wife of the Anambra State Governor, Mrs. Nonye Soludo, has urged young people to harness their creative potential and embrace innovation as a tool for societal progress.
Soludo made the call on Tuesday in a message commemorating World Innovation and Creativity Day, highlighting the importance of ideas and originality in driving development.
World Creativity and Innovation Day is marked annually on April 21 to raise awareness of the role of creativity and innovation in problem-solving and advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. This year’s theme is “Harnessing Creativity for Global Progress.”
She said the day celebrates the power of ideas, the courage to think differently, and the beauty of innovation in advancing communities.
The governor’s wife encouraged youths, dreamers, and change-makers to recognize and utilize their unique talents, noting that innovation extends beyond technology to problem-solving and creating opportunities.
“Innovation is not only about technology; it is about finding new ways to solve problems, uplift others, and create opportunities where none existed before,” she said.
Soludo expressed pride in the ingenuity and resilience of Anambra people, describing them as key drivers of inclusive growth across various sectors.
She emphasized the importance of nurturing curiosity, supporting bold ideas, and investing in human potential to achieve sustainable development.
“Within each of us lies the potential to transform our world,” she said.
