ASABA/Nigeria: Hon. Jude Ogbimi, Chairman of Delta Trust Mortgage Bank, has described Nigerian children as a “living goldmine,” urging stakeholders to prioritize child development as the most strategic investment in the nation’s future.
In a statement marking the 2025 Children’s Day celebration themed “Tapping the Untapped Natural Treasure,” Ogbimi emphasized that Nigeria’s future prosperity depends on how well the nation nurtures and develops its youngest citizens. He said the theme rightly places focus on the priceless value children represent.
“Our children are not just the leaders of tomorrow, they are the living foundation of our nation today. Each child carries untapped brilliance, waiting to be discovered and refined through quality education, proper guidance, and a nurturing environment,” Ogbimi said.
He called on financial institutions, corporate organizations, and civil society to join forces in providing opportunities for children to thrive, particularly in education and innovation. “We must move beyond rhetoric and begin to structure platforms that empower our children to be problem solvers, creators, and ethical leaders,” he added.
Ogbimi reaffirmed Delta Trust Mortgage Bank’s commitment to youth-oriented initiatives through corporate social responsibility efforts that promote access to learning tools and financial literacy. He concluded by celebrating the resilience and dreams of Nigerian children, stating, “In them lies the untapped wealth that will transform our nation.”
