*6th ANNUAL NIGERIAN YOUTH LEADERSHIP AWARDS.*
Leadership, Effectiveness, Accountability & Professionalism (LEAP) Africa is
a nonprofit organization, since its inception in May 2002, LEAP has
been committed
to inspiring, empowering and equipping a new cadre of leaders in Africa by
providing the skills and tools for personal, organizational and community
transformation and has successfully launched leadership programmes for
business owners, social entrepreneurs, public sector officers and youth in
Aba, Abuja, Awka-Ibom, Awka, Bauchi, Benin, Calabar, Enugu, Ibadan, Kano,
Lagos, Minna, Ogun, Onitsha and Port Harcourt.
As part of its commitment towards appreciating and supporting youth who
actively strive to make positive changes within their communities, LEAP
Africa will honour additional ten young Nigerians through the 6th Annual
Nigerian Youth Leadership Awards.
The Awards celebration will take place from 4:00 pm at Shell Hall Muson
Centre, Lagos and eminent personalities from across the country, such as
guests from the private sector, government officials, members of the
diplomatic corps, representatives from development organizations, as well as
members of leading media agencies will be in attendance. In addition, Mr.
Sesan Awoniki, CEO of Anchor International Consulting will serve as the
Keynote Speaker for the occasion.
An important component of this edition is the recognition of the efforts of
the beneficiaries of LEAP’s Leadership, Ethics and Civics (LEC) Programme
designed to equip secondary school students with the skills and tools that
they require to serve as change agents in the society. Outstanding secondary
schools, teachers and social change projects will be recognized from the
three participating States.
*“We focused the LEC programme at public secondary school students who have
limited access to training programmes such as LEC. And we chose SS1 students
because this is when many young people make life-changing choices. In
addition, instilling these skills and values in them at a young age will
provide them with ample time and opportunities to work toward the change
they want to see in Nigeria”**. Says Mosun Layode LEAP Africa’s Executive
Director.*
The event which is funded by Nokia and supported by the International Youth
Foundation, have showcased the amazing efforts of 45 Nigerian youth since
2004.
