CITIZENS COMPASS– The 2023 Governorship candidate of Labour Party (LP) in Lagos State, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, popularly known as GRV, on Tuesday, described children as the treasure and window for the future.
He said this on his social media handles.
According to him, “Childhood is a time filled with wonder, curiosity, and endless possibilities. It’s a phase of life that deserves to be celebrated, not only for the joy it brings but for the foundation it lays for the future.
“Today, I Gbadebo Rhodes Vivour dedicated this day to the youngest members of our society, and it’s a wonderful occasion to reflect on the importance of childhood, education, and the future.
“Walt Streightiff said and I quote, “There are no seven wonders of the world in the eyes of a child. There are seven million.” These words remind us that children are not just the future—they are the promise of what we can achieve when we invest in them today. That is, we all need to take action towards a brighter, more inclusive future.
“The investment in the future begins now as they learn the value of persistence, self-belief, and the joy that comes from doing something you truly love. Also, investing in celebrating the idea of inspiring creativity and growth. Remember, Children are like wet cement. Whatever falls on them makes an impression.
“To every child out there, I love you, I cherish your growth and I am always open to celebrate you not just today but everyday as you are the treasure and the window to the future.”
