In fact, we will be taking steps to become a stronger nation for the future. There are several elements of our age. If you say 'What are they?' Every young friend of mine can express his opinion freely, there is no environment that restricts him in any way, I think the most important value of this age is that we should keep it alive. Because, in an environment where you freely express your opinion, I am sure that your creativity will bring very important values to this country. But I know that our young people have the ability to achieve great things in science, in art, in technology, in education, in any subject that comes to mind," he said.

We need to create an environment where your hopes for the future grow more and you take quick steps towards better days. I am sure that our future will be very good if we spread this beautiful understanding that we have put forward in the city to all parts of our country. Let me tell you this: While there is no educational support we provide to our university youth, it is a pride for us to provide it. We meet; This year, we contacted about 75 young people this year. The more we have, the more we will give. Believe me, we will never save on this. We know that every opportunity we provide to you means greater opportunities for us in the future. At the same time, the dormitories we provide for our youth make me so happy; If I lay my head on the pillow and sleep peacefully, it is our comfortable dormitories that we provide for our youth, the reason standing in the first row like this.”
“LET 2023 BE A YEAR BEfitting its Centennial”
Addressing the youth with the words "Are you satisfied with our dormitories" and receiving the answer "Yes", İmamoğlu said:

In other words, in the end, we are all together with the support we provide in culture, arts, dormitory facilities, the support we provide with scholarships, and the environments we provide at the Istanbul Planning Agency. we are doing very good work. As you push us, we will do even better things. We want you to know Istanbul well. We want these dormitories to become a tradition. Don't forget your today after you graduate tomorrow. Follow these dorms. And we want you to make an effort to make these dorms better. Actually, I am describing you 10-15 years ahead. I hope that 2023 will be very beautiful with this beautiful enthusiasm. Let us offer you good opportunities. Centenary of our Republic. Let 2023 be a year befitting its centennial.”
