2014 'YOUTH ARISE' TRAINING PROFILE
INTRODUCTION
In terms of numerical strength,
Nigeria remains the most populous country in Africa with larger percentage
comprising of young people.
Exploring the antecedent of young
people in Nigeria, youths have played sizable and momentous roles before and
after independence. From agricultural
development to economic expansion; fostered through vocational creativity in
line with cultural diversities; seasoned in entrepreneurship skills with
penchant for business development, distinct in administrative styles with root
to sound educational performance and characterized by prompt and pragmatic
leadership with an unbiased political engagement just to mention a few.
However, in the last three decades,
things have fallen apart and the story has not been the same. Young people have relaxed their nerves while
the old struggle with their muscles. The
Change Agents have seemingly become tools for oppression and destruction.
While we celebrate the scholastic and
technological achievement of nations around us as well as the efficacious
legacies of young men and women globally, our world swim in abject perplexity
and turmoil; subjugated by political annihilation, distorted by terrorism,
undermined by corruption, characterized by economic drain and dilapidating
education despite enormous natural resources.
THE NEED
In a society of dormant or partial youth
participation, leadership is confused and economic development lingers. Far beyond the numerical vote, young people
are poised to make positive changes considering their imaginative, creative and
innovative power.
Rather than depending on the old
muscles while the youth remain disillusioned and unprepared for the task ahead
of them, Youth Arise, a project
symposium with focus on Emancipation,
Leadership and Development is borne out of purpose to propel youths towards
gainful involvement and investment in the society.
