During the Ayetoro-Yewa Day celebration on Sunday in Ayetoro, Yewa North LG, Ogun State, Salako made the remarks.
Native of Ayetoro, Salako said that young Nigerians should actively participate in nation-building by devotedly serving their country wherever they may be.

This method was compared by Salako to that of a farmer who has to cultivate and plant in order to harvest a crop.
He encouraged the kids to understand that in order for their land to repay them, they must take care of it.
“My suggestion is to put serving our land before making demands of Nigeria, especially to the younger ones. He said, “Your land will serve you if you serve it.
He promised Ogun that the Federal Government, particularly the Federal Ministry of Environment, would give him first priority.
