Obinna Iyiegbu, also known as Obi Cubana, a well-known businessman, has nominated young Nigerians for the Youth Transformational Leadership Course at the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS) in Kuru, Plateau State, yesterday.
He revealed this during a meeting with the Princeton Leadership Forum’s management in Abuja, where he discussed his views on youth empowerment in the country.
Despite the fact that Obi Cubana did not reveal the number of youths he nominated, he urged “more successful Nigerians to support the empowerment of youths to be leaders who can contribute positively to national development.”
Earlier, Dr. Chibuike Echem, President of the Princeton Leadership Forum, revealed that the organization aims to advocate youth empowerment and development across the country.
He explained that the Forum’s Youth Transformational Leadership Course at NIPSS was designed to prepare young Nigerians for policy decision-making so that their contributions to national development could be maximized.
Echem added,
“Part of our mandate is to work towards empowering young Nigerians to be leaders and to contribute positively to the development of our nation. Among other things, we have initiated a programme for young Nigerians at the NIPSS in Kuru, which is aimed at training the youths to become transformational leaders. Also, part of our strategy is to create an avenue where successful Nigerians will share their experiences with the younger ones,”
