- ItemOpen AccessThe Role of Nigerian Youths in Nation Building(International School University of Lagos, 2012-07-26) Olusakin, A.MYouths are people with high hopes and great expectations from parents, teachers and elders in the society. These Youths are the social engineers and catalyst for positive changes. Nigerian Youths should have a greater space in national development that must be consciously occupied by them. The challenges of the Youths range from the economic and social to cultural. The sensitivity of our youths has been greatly challenged due to their entrapment into the treacherous triangle of poverty, illiteracy and unemployment. This is because nation building does not only involves the implementation of political and economic policies and action programs that must improve the lives of the ordinary citizenry as well as recognising the values and other aspects of the society that would act as a national catalyst to build up the Youths themselves. The Youths now are the LEADERS of tomorrow!
