Group under the auspices of Africana League has charged Nigerian youths to take their destinies in their hands and find lasting solutions to mirage of problems bedeviling the country.

The Executive Director of the league, Glory Ukwenga, who gave this charge on Friday in Abuja, further admonished Nigerian youths to chart a clear purpose for life by engaging in activities that are beyond mere daily survival.

According to her, youths can intentionally engage on a systematic process towards putting the country on the map of global leadership as a super power nation.

Noting that the league does not aim to create any political party, Ukwenga explained that the body aimed to train, nurture and facilitate the ascendency of patriotic leaders across various political parties who will be committed to nation building so that regardless of parties, they can have minimum standards of skilled, conscientious and effective front-runners of governance.

She said: “At Africana League, we ask even more pertinent questions. Does it make sense that we should all give up? If we give up, what about those who look up to us and are willing to fall in line if they see us take the right steps? Who will lead them?

“If Nigeria as it is cannot give us the hope for self-actualization, can we not find a way to give it to ourselves? Whatever will be the outcome of the Nigerian nation, the fact remains that it would be our responsibility to figure out solutions that work, solutions that take into account the realities of our Nigerian limitations and solutions that are therefore adaptable to the dynamics of our unpredictable society. This is the value that we as young people bring to the table of leadership”, She said.
