<p>Following the hypersensitivity of the
issues surrounding the lives and well-being of Nigerian citizens living in
South Africa and to contribute his voice against the poor state of security
regarding foreign nationals living in Africa, the
Founder/Chairman of Zenith Bank Plc, Mr. Jim Ovia has withdrawn from further
activities at the World Economic Forum Africa 2019, taking place in Cape Town,
South Africa.</p>



<p>Before taking his exit, Mr. Ovia
stressed the need for youth empowerment and better government policies to curb
continual attacks on persons living within and outside Africa. He belaboured
that until positive change towards collective growth happens on this front, the
continent would not reach its potential. </p>



<p>Mr. Ovia added that full support
should be rendered in vocational education of the young persons living in not
just Nigeria but Africa. According to him, the Jim Ovia Foundation has taken up
a stance on this issue, having empowered over 3,500 students and entrepreneurs
since its inception. He called on other members of the private sector to join
hands and solve this menace plaguing the African continent.</p>
