The UNFPA YOUTH ADVISORY GROUP
Today, I was opportuned to partake in the Youth Advisory Group meeting at the UNFPA Kaduna office. This was a whole new experience and approach to tackling youth problems in Nigeria.
Alot of times, the older generation try to proffer solutions to problems that hamper our development as young persons, without realizing that they do not see our picture as well as we do.
Fortunately, UNFPA Kaduna chaired by Mariama Darboe (Programme Coordinator), took the bold step to bring together young social entrepreneurs working in Kaduna state. With so many skill-sets, experiences and capacity, this team is set to bring it’s vision (TO ENSURE THAT ADOLESCENTS AND YOUNG PERSONS IN NORTHERN NIGERIA ARE ABLE TO REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIALS, TO POSITIVELY IMPACT THEIR COMMUNITY) to reality.
Good one
Thank you very much Dr.
Great. Young people must harness their own potentials and accend decision making platform with a clear understanding of their strengths and contributions
Fantastic, Kaduna is going to be great with this movement. I’m a blogger and a web designer, Admin @ Kadunaservices.com How can I be part of this great motion.
Wow! I am so sorry for the late response. We meet monthly at UNFPA office here in Kaduna. I think I (@toniaumeh1) follow @Kadunaservices on twitter. Please dm me for details. I look forward to receiving your message. Thank you.
Very true Isah, very true. I have discovered young people have so much, but harnessing it is a challenge. There are currently no structures to guide them. But with what people like you are doing, I am sure our future is already bright. Thank you so much.
