intentional about developing themselves through the needed education,adding that the most dangerous people in any society are the uneducated young population”.

On the 2023 general elections, Dr. Adejoh encouraged Nigerians to elect better leaders as the choices they make will determine the level of development of the country in the next 4-8 years.

He concluded with a popular slogan, “We only rise by lifting others”.
