Young Men Christian Association (YMCA), Lagos, has trained youths across Nigeria to solve challenges in their local and global communities.
Speaking at a four-day active citizens workshop, Vice Chairman, YMCA, Adedolapo Ayoola, said the training was crucial as it sought to impact the youths with the knowledge to provide solutions to the needs of their communities.
Ayoola said youths needed to know that the government could not solve all the challenges, which was why they are equipped with the right knowledge to contribute towards solving the issues ravaging their communities.
General Secretary and Chief Executive Officer, YMCA, Lagos, Adeniyi Akindayomi, said there was the need to raise the future of Nigeria, adding that the training was aimed at raising young people, who would begin to identify problems in their communities; find solutions and implement them.
