Young Professionals strategize on how to sustain the collective aspirations of the Forum.
Over (40) Trustees and Executive Members of the Nigerian Young Professionals Forum (NYPF) participated in its Annual Retreat in The Gambia from 11th - 14th March 2015.
NYPF, led by the Chairman, Moses Siloko Siasia and it's Executive Members from the Diaspora (including the Coordinators/Secretaries from NYPF
USA, NYPF UK) and all the Regional Chairmen within Nigeria (NYPF South South, NYPF South West, NYPF North and NYPF South East) re- affirmed the Forum's commitment to the delivery of sustainable development initiatives in Nigeria particularly through the enhancement of value re-orientation, education and policy formulation at all levels as it concerns young Nigerians.
NYPF core objectives are to engender purposeful leadership, create sustainable livelihood for young people and encourage the participation of young people in governance and economic process.
In achieving these stated objectives, NYPF International established a framework to carry out its existing programs which include:
Propagate better quality of Education
Capacity building for young Nigerian professionals and Create sustainable livelihood for young people.
The Forum was received by delegates of the Nigerian High Commission in Gambia led by the Consular Officer Mrs Mercy Ekanem and discussed in detail with the delegates on engaging Young Nigerians in The Gambia.
"This Retreat reaffirmed my commitment to the good work of NYPF", said Okenfe Aigbe Lebarty, NYPF USA Coordinator, "NYPF is a voice for the voiceless Nigerian young professionals and with our programs we will empower the average Nigerian to reach his/her highest potentials". As for me, we will work smartly to ensure that young professionals in the United States contribute their quota towards Nation building.
"Thought provoking and revealing. Giving pointers to the future for young Nigerian Professionals all over the world, in order to create productive synergies for economic development for the country." Olukunle Orimijupa, South West Regional Secretary".
In all, the Executive Members unanimously agreed to further the objectives and conclusions reached at the retreat in their respective countries and Regions for the prosperity of the Nation and its people alike.

ReplyDeleteWe need more of such organisations in Nigeria with international outlook.Thumps up NYPF
ReplyDeleteLets join hands together to move our country forward. we the youths have the power to change this country for our future generations to come. My prayer is that this organisation estranges itself from the hackles of political jargonauts who disguise themselves and their agenda in order to identify with young Nigerian visionaries. Stay focused on your core objectives and God will see us through someday.
