Poverty continues to play a significant role in shaping the determination of many young Nigerians striving to succeed despite difficult economic conditions.
Across the country, limited access to quality education, rising unemployment, and increasing living costs have forced many youths to adopt a mindset of resilience and self-reliance.
Economic hardship has become a driving force behind the growing interest in skills acquisition, informal trade, and entrepreneurship among young people.
Experts note that while poverty limits opportunities, it also compels many youths to develop strong work ethics and creative survival strategies.
