The report of the conference is expected to coalesce with other efforts to herald a "New Nigeria" prior to and after the much talked about 2007 when the next round of elections will hold. The emergence of a "New Nigeria" is, perhaps, the greatest challenge before the Obasanjo government and the opposition groups, whose innermost passions are being given expressions on the platforms of Conference of Nigerian Political Parties (CNPP) led by Alhaji Balarabe Musa and the Pro-National Conference Organisations (PRONACO) under the guiding lights of foremost nationalist, Pa Anthony Enahoro, Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka and the like of radical Lagos lawyer, Chief Gani Fawehinmi

 

A new light is being shaped as the idea of a consensus group was introduced during the opening of Conference. An interview on NTA and AIT TV with Prof Isa Odidi brought new input, which other delegates are beginning to accept. That a consensus group be formed within the interest groups who are participating in the Conference to forge constructive agenda that will re-focus Nigeria and everyone will emerge a winner.

 

On a similar note, The NIDO Chairman and a Delegate representing NIDO Americas Dr. Ola Kassim expressed willingness to cooperate with everyone who has Nigeria first before anything.

 

It is now becoming clear that the President and his men can go to sleep or feel relaxed that whatever recommendations are reached at the National Conference would still be one that would benefit all Nigerians, and all positions papers and other details will soon be available at the Confab new website currently being designed and supervised by the Conference IT Adviser Dr. Baba Jibrin Adamu

Experience is wealth. Wealth is contagious; can be passed on to others. We believe that the experiences of credible leaders, if carefully articulated,

could inspire others into good works. Hence, Youth Education  Initiative has as it's major objective, the duty to publish the profiles of selected world leaders in simplified literature form through which youths worldwide could study both for inspiration and emulation purposes.

This process also have the purpose of making the world leaders realize that, they need to live a credible life knowing that they are being watched by others. It is a great honour to be selected as a worthy example; a source of encouragement for the youths. "The Man, The Nation, His Legacy" Biography of Alhaji (Dr.)  Shehu Ahmadu Musa (CFR, GCON) Makaman Nupe comes at the right time now more than ever. His selection will certainly inspire readers to greater sense of social responsibility and acceptable behaviou, and serve as source of knowledge and encouragement especially to youths in the face of the stiffest challenges of life.
