Where we STAND
Nigerian Youth Initiatives (NYI) - Introduction
The average Nigerian Youth is a, naturally inventive, creative, adventurous and enterprising individual who seeks to better his/her life through strife amidst the limitations of resources within his immediate reach. Nigerian Youth Initiatives seeks to build on this sense of adventure, and encourage these young people to become involved in all aspects of their daily lives, at local, national and intentional level. This gives them the opportunity to develop their experience with responsibility, autonomy and involvement, in the context of a common interest. In a world of constant change, Nigerian Youth Initiatives will help young people to try out their own ideas, to devise their own projects and to carry them out in their own way so as to develop an entrepreneurial skill.
