The Future Project has announced the second edition of The Nigeria Symposium for
Young & Emerging Leaders, an annual high-level leadership platform focused
on building capacity for the new generation of Nigerian leaders.
The
event will hold at the Ikogosi Resorts in Ekiti State, Nigeria from 4 – 7 April,
2013.
“We are very excited to be presenting the second edition of this
historic platform – which provides a very important platform for a purposive
national conversation about how the new generation of leaders can avoid the
pitfalls of our history,” said Chude Jideonwo, who is executive director for The
Future Project. “We are even more excited to announce that the event will be
hosted by the Government of Ekiti State, Nigeria at the soon to be commissioned
Ikogosi Resorts which has been constructed to world-class standards by the
GovernorFayemi administration.”
The Nigeria Symposium for Young &
Emerging Leaders, a platform leading from The Future Awards is the next stage of
its involvement in building a new generation of leaders: creating a critical
mass of new leaders who are already blazing a trail and managing systems –
including business and political leaders, media leaders, thought leaders, civil
society and public service leaders.
The first edition of the Symposium
held in Lagos on March 19 and 20 2012. The Headline Speaker was then
Vice-President of the World Bank, Dr. Obiageli Ezekwesili and its Host was
Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, who was Minister of Youth Development.
“We are
delighted to host this platform in 2013 – in the Land of Honour Ekiti State,
Nigeria,” said the Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi. “Ekiti has always led the charge
for democratic values, and good governance in the country, and we are passionate
about sharing those lessons that we have learnt with the next generation of
national leaders.
“We are also proud to host The Nigeria Symposium for
Young & Emerging Leaders as one of the first programmes to be held at the
Ikogosi Resorts which our administration would be unveiling soon. I am certain
that the comfort offered by the world class service and facilities at Ikogosi
coupled with the relaxing natural ambience of one of Africa’s finest resorts,
would augur well for robust engagements amongst all participants at the
symposium. It will be an enriching national conversation.
This year’s
Symposium is focused on Nigeria’s next general elections – and young people
effectively engaging the process across board, from business to politics and
civil society.
