The role of young people in nation building
cannot be over-emphasized, thereby providing a dire need for youths to be
prepared for challenges ahead towards strengthening our leadership and
participation skills.
Acting on the above, Network for Talent
Discovery (NETAD)- an organisation committed to talent discovery and
development, leadership development and fostering patriotism among teenagers
and youths in the African continent - is organising a Young and Emerging
Leaders Summit meant to engage young and emerging leaders in leadership
deliberations towards exploring strategies and concepts of leadership through
participation, and fostering active youth participation in decision
making processes, thereby aiding quality governance.

Coordinator of the organization, Aanu Damola Morenikeji, it was learnt that the
