Group tasks students on wealth creation

The Bastiat Society, an international free market think-tank organisation, has educated the youth on the need to generate wealth from their talent. Its country Director, Adewale Bankole, spoke at the maiden African Students for Liberty (ASFL) Conference held at the expansive Trenchard Hall of the University of Ibadan (UI).
Bankole said the group was out to educate young professionals and entrepreneurs on the need to derive values from their abilities.

He said: “A society built on limited individual knowledge is a free market’s greatest weakness. It leaves those within the system vulnerable to those who claim that their perfect knowledge or theory is more valid than individual knowledge or the individual will.”

Bankole said unless individuals restored popular confidence in an economic order based on freedom, the society would continue to be under an immoral economic system based on absolute power, theft and envy. “Business must take the lead in defending the morality and productivity of free societies,” he said. He called on students to join group of wealth creator, adding: “It is only through personal development and liberty that you can achieve prosperity
