2018 IKALE OLUOMO AWARD / COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ROUNDTABLE DISCUSS CALL FOR NOMINATIONS

ABOUT IKALE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ROUNDTABLE AND AWARD NIGHT
No other time is the issue Community Development and youth Empowerment  more apt than the present time where the youths are faced with many challenges.  Youth accounted for about 75% population of any given society.
Unfortunately, not up to half of these youths are fully employed.  The number keeps increasing annually, thus, bearing the brunt of unemployment which has been affecting Community development negatively.  If urgent steps are not taken to tackle these challenges in an integrated and coherent manner, it would become a ticking time-bomb.

The best way out of this problem is for the youth to acquired entrepreneurial skills and be self empowered.  Globally today, the paradigm shift is towards facilitating the kind of education and information which enables the youth to be job creators rather than being job seekers.  This indeed, requires a synergy of government efforts and initiatives from other well meaning stakeholders.
The Ikale  Youth Empowerment and Community Development roundtable is our modest contribution in this direction.  The programme is pursuit of the organization initiative: Empowering Nigeria which seeks to engender sustainable development by means of an enlightened campaign that is geared towards giving the Nigerian youth a new orientation for self empowerment and community development.
OBJECTIVES OF THE ROUND TABLE
To empower thousands of unemployed young people and undergraduates across Ikale communities  with the skills and the direction to create jobs for themselves and be self-reliant.To expose the youth to a wide range of information which will help to reposition them to take their rightful place in the comity of the nations?  Such information will geared toward:Creating the awareness that the future belongs to them and that it must not be destroyed by them.

Sensitizing them to the fact that the future and its nature depend on the decisions and choices they make;

Creating a sense of history, especially of the noble and heroic contributions of the youth in the past to the Community development in comparison with the ignoble role of many youth today;

Enabling the youth to learn, using entrepreneurship case studies, about modern African trailblazers, their self empowerment and development strategies thereby giving the youth a set of inspiration role models to follow;

Sensitizing them to seek greater self-empowerment and creative educational opportunities as a means of redirecting their energy and ideas from anti-social activities to creative endeavours.

WHY AWARD
Empowerment is not about shifting responsibilities of other stakeholders, such as the local Council,   State, unto young people’s shoulders.  This is because the government  has a primary responsibility to provide for the welfare of the people.  Accordingly, government at different levels are expected to be delivering on their mandate of creating the enabling environment and opportunities that tare conducive for the aspirations of the people and Community development.
Unfortunately, the general assumption continues to gain ground, that most elected Nigerian leaders are irresponsible and self-serving opportunist.  Interestingly however, there are few leaders who have distinguished themselves as exemplary statesmen.  These few crops of visionary rare breeds remain totally selfless and passionately committed to the welfare of the people they are elected to serve.
Such outstanding leaders deserve recognition and encouragement.  This gesture awakens others in positions of trust and responsibilities to the fact that the society is watching, thereby keeping them on their toes.
Thus, the programme shall be rounded off by honouring the Our Oluomos in Youth Empowerment and community Development from different fields of human endeavour. THEREFORE,  we ask for nominations from reputable Ikale son’s and daughters that are doing us proud in their chosen profession.
This programme is being conceptualized and organized by Ikale consultative  forum for Good Governance in conjunction with the HERO VENTURES INTL LTD, Publisher of The HERO Magazine Int’l.(organizer of Ondo state man of the year award) and Founder of Hero foundation for Widows.
