Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has tasked young people to learn from history rather than repeat it or allow it to jeopardise a better future.

Osinbajo gave the charge at a youth forum in Monrovia, Liberia where he was welcomed by the Liberian President, George Weah, his deputy and different Liberian groups, who also decorated him with traditional recognitions and awards.

According to a statement by Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Office of the Vice President, Mr Laolu Akande, Osinbajo was first received by President Weah, who held talks with him and welcomed him to the West African nation, expressing appreciation for the one-day visit.

The Vice President was the Special Guest of Honour at a youth forum to mark the 60th birthday of the Liberian Vice President, Dr. Jewel Howard-Taylor.

Later at the youth forum with the theme: 'Conversation with the Vice President and Young People,' Dr. Howard-Taylor, described her Nigerian counterpart as a humble and selfless leader who inspires hope for a better Africa.
