Eagle Lead Development Initiative call civic participation of Youth across Nigeria

Eagle Lead Development Initiative a non governmental organisation is mobilizing youth across Nigeria for civic participation named ELDI CIVIC VOLUNTEERS.

In a youth Meeting held yesterday 26th of May 2019 at CASSS ETF LECTURE HALL KADUNA POLYTECHNIC, KADUNA, Mr. Peter Ezekiel, the Executive Director enjoin the youth to wake up to community responsibilities which include engaging in Sanitation, preaching nonviolence to their peers and leading other youth to live a life free from crime as it is only by these that Nigeria will experience the development we all pray for. 

In his words, no country grows without the support of the youth. The government's efforts will remain futile if the young people are not ready to support it. He further said Kaduna has experienced so much crises which the youth has been an instrument. If these same youths are called together to preach peace and report all incidents that could lead to such crises the true potentials of the state will be born again. 

Rotr. Sheriff Bashar a speaker at the event also said one of the ways people can exhibit their potentials in a nation is mostly in community development activities, hence the youth must take advantage of this organisation's call as an opportunity for their own self-actualization.

ELDI's plan is to pull together youths irrespective of the cultural and religious affiliation, Gender and Diversity and mentor them on the right path. Through civic participation. Also a key plan is to mould them and create in them national consciousness. Also, these youth who are more closer to their peers will be able to talk them out of criminal behaviours to enable them live in peace with one another. 

The internet fraud activities that is denting Nigeria's image will be mitigated to it's bearest minimum as the youth present at the yesterday's meeting has pledged to do all they can to recruit their friends and family to be part of this youth civic movement.

Based on the above, we are calling on government, individuals, related International, Local NGOs and donor institutions to support Eagle Lead Development Initiative (ELDI) in this project which is extremely promising. 

Our prime objective is to shrink the pool of applicants of terrorism, violence and fraud existing in our society through this project.

We need support in form of material resources and financial grants to enable us spread this to other states of Nigeria and acquire needed facilities for our civic engagement.
