Abuja, Nigeria – Mr. Ibrahim Egungbohun Dende, Founder of IBD Impex Limited, has emphasized the importance of focus and discipline in achieving success, especially for Nigerian youths. He made this remark while receiving Joshua Aiyenuro, the recent Guinness World Record holder, at his residence in Abuja.

Dende commended Aiyenuro’s achievement, describing it as a notable milestone for the youths involved. “I’m very happy for the team and for him personally, I am part of the people that made this happen, and I feel so happy,” he said. He expressed confidence that the achievement would inspire more young people to remain committed to their goals.

“At least we have achieved this one, I think this is one of the big things that has happened to Nigerian youths,” Dende said, adding, “He wants to do more, I believe we will achieve it. I am not going to leave him; I will continue to follow up and see how he grows.”

Dende urged youths to remain steadfast in their pursuits and trust in God for success. “My advice to the youth is simple, just focus and know what you want to do and by the power of God you will achieve it,” he said.

Aiyenuro expressed his gratitude to God for the achievement and the opportunity to advance further in life. “I’m happy and grateful to God for what He has done and for giving me the grace to go further in life,” he said.

Dende attributed Aiyenuro’s success to his focus and discipline, noting that many young people have opportunities but fail to capitalize on them. “When you are focused, you will meet someone that can help you, some of our youths have opportunities, but when you give it to them, they go and do something else and mess it up,” he said .
