YOUTH LEADERSHIP SEMINAR AND CAPACITY BUILDING


YOUTH LEADERSHIP SEMINAR AND CAPACITY BUILDINGTOPIC: THE CHALLENGES AND THE WAY OUT.
ORGANIZED BY: NEW CWNTURY INITIATIVE
VENUE: ACE FOUNDATION BUILDING COALCITY GARDEN ESTATE ENUGU.
June 7, 2014
PRESENTATION BY NEBO OBINNA COLLINS
Over the years, the African continent has been flooded with many challenges especially the challenges facing the youth who are the leaders of today. It has been so worrisome that many youth charters, youth policies and youth declarations have been drafted but hardly find any being fully implemented. It is equally challenging that many of our youth cannot define who a youth is talk less of having a copy of the African Youth Charter and Nigeria Youth policy. In this day, I wish we can learn our roles and responsibilities as youth of this nation in order to participate effectively.
Coming to Enugu state, the level and the way youth are participating in the social affairs is not encouraging owing to some factors which include:
  1. Failed student movements which supposed to be a training ground for the youth, has now become a platform for political mobilization.
  2. Lack of capacity and awareness have turned most of our youth into vipers in the hands of the ruling class who can use them to strike their enemies anytime they want.
  3. Lack of right ideology has made a grown-up youth to speak without purpose and vision. For instance, I’ve encountered a group of youth whose sole aim is to make money which is beautiful but they have no concrete plan on how to make this money, no foundation. I asked how do you want to make this millions. They responded anyhow….. Lol! Please where in the world can anyhow be used as a source of income or career? Enugu state is a coal city state, why can’t those who studied engineering think of alternative way to electricity or even use the biotechnical means? It’s simply because they lack capacity.
I challenge the young people of this noble state to be steadfast in reasoning and reason critically in order to push forward. It is never an easy task but I believe the little we contribute shall go a very long way in helping us. There many opportunities we can use to stir-up our dreams but we must have the right mindset before we excel.

 THE BEST YOU CAN BE IS JUST YOURSELF!!!!!!
