Firm grooms youths on creativity

Following the disturbing unemployment and criminality in Nigeria, youths have been urged to direct their creative energies towards viable entrepreneurship.

Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of DreamStream Resources Company Limited, Pastor Damilola Oluwatoyinbo, gave the advice at the official unveiling and media tour of DreamSpace in Lagos, noting that the centre was poised at fostering creativity and knowledge-driven skills for all, especially young Nigerians.

Unveiling the centre, tooled with books, T-shirts and other resource materials in Ikeja, Oluwatoyinbo encouraged Nigerian youths to invest in themselves, stating that knowledge remains irreplaceable.

He said: “Because we are passing through desperate times in the country, there is a lot of confusion in the country and when there is confusion, that is the best time to be creative.”

Describing imagination as a tool for transformation, the cleric observed: Creativity means in the midst of the chaos, we can harness the latent and natural resources around us to make a difference and to stand out this time around. Social media is a reflection of creativity, but it is just media that has gone social.”

In its resolve to nurture more creative minds and solution-oriented services, DreamSpace, which houses a 35-seater creative lounge, 15-seater boardroom and 20-seater capacity studio, was birthed as a centre for coaching, consulting, content creation, collaboration and networking to come up with solutions for organisational challenges.
