Leadership Capacity Building Retreat For Youth Development Associations In Kwara Central

The leaders of the Kwara Central youth development associations are scheduled to take part in a two-day mentorship program designed to increase the youth’s capacity for district-wide community development.

The program on skill development, entrepreneurship, and job creation, organized by Mallam Nasir Abdulquadri, the Office of the Special Technical Adviser on job creation & skill development to Senator Saliu Mustapha, would be held in several batches. It is non-pecuniary, he added.

The purpose of the batch structure is to maximize the benefits of the opportunity for each of the four local government areas’ youth leaders.

A letter of invitation endorsed by Mallam Nasir Abdulquadri, the Technical Adviser, states that the first session would take place in the state capital of Kwara, Ilorin, on November 13 and 14.

The workshop is intended for association presidents and executives, according to Abdulquadri.

The letter to the development associations stated, “The training, which is strictly for the executives of participating associations, is aimed at improving the development in Kwara Central through capacity building and intellectual enhancement of the leaders of youth-focused organizations and groups such as yours.”

Abdulquadir emphasized once more how crucial it is to develop community capacity in order to promote constructive change in the district. He stated that topics like security, communications, community relations, mentoring, needs assessment, and so on are anticipated to be heavily discussed.

“It is anticipated that the training will give the young leaders the chance to participate more actively in community development and governance, assisting the government in real time feedback, peculiarities and urgent needs at the grassroot”

Additionally, he emphasized his belief that the associations’ active participation will greatly enhance the event’s success and enjoyment.

“We want to see you at this important training, but please be aware that proxy participation is not permitted. With sincere respects, please accept the highest compliments from Distinguished Senator Saliu Mustapha.”
