The Future Project (TFP) is set to hold
the fourth edition of The Nigeria Symposium for Young and Emerging
Leaders on May 31, 2018 at the Muson Centre, Onikan, Lagos.
Themed ‘Shaping New Narratives’,
the Symposium will bring together leaders and influential
personalities in politics, business, advocacy, media, and more – to
engage and discuss issues of governance, public policies, and civic
engagement.
As an annual knowledge-exchange and
mentorship event between present and emerging leaders in government
and the public sector to facilitate learning and youth inclusiveness,
the event provides a platform for young Nigerians to engage public
officials on democratic institutions and national development.
In a statement released by The Future
Project, chief operating officer, Bukonla Adebakin, spoke on its
drive to change negative narratives about Nigeria while highlighting
the role of the Nigerian youth in demanding for better governance and
improvement in the system of leadership.
“In strengthening leadership and
citizen participation, it is important that we provide platforms to
aid true transformation and establish democratic values while
developing active and empowered citizens. With the theme ‘Shaping
New Narrative’, we intend to highlight the crucial role of citizens
in imperatives of open governance,” Adebakin said.
The Future Project has a mandate to
build empowered citizens across Africa through inclusive enterprise
and active citizenship.
