This visit by the Prime Minister to this historic city square is part of the second phase of the national days of patriotic commitment and citi
zen participation in Burkina Faso.
‘Young people will have to learn to read and educate themselves so as not to fall victim to media poisoning on social networks,’ added the head of government.
Seizing the opportunity, he also noted that in life, one must give oneself an ideal and that today’s youth must draw inspiration from the DOP of Captain Thomas Sankara to develop the country.
‘Succeeding in life is not about accumulating material things, wealth, etc. There are those who have accumulated wealth, but they find themselves destitute because they have no ideal to fulfill,’ he continued.
For Dr Apollinaire Joachinsom Kyélem de Tambèla, succeeding in life means living according to one’s ideal and achieving it.
