Chief Chima Onyekwere OON Wishes all Abains happy prosperous 2019 and let us work together to ensure that we win the battle for the youth of this country

We take this opportunity to wish you a very happy new year! May this year indeed be the year for you, may all your wishes, dreams and aspirations come true. Remember that success is based on a tested combination of vision, focus, resilience, patience and hard work. If you want it hard enough, you must work for it hard enough!

2018 was a year full of many challenges, we collectively and individually overcame them. For us, 2018 was a game changer. We were bestowed the honour of heading Youth Development in the country, from the very onset. We dedicated ourselves to becoming an activist Board that will dedicate 24 hours a day and 7 days a week towards issues of youth development. We said we will change the image of the youth from that of being an Agency purely existing in affluent areas serving the interest of those who have access to it. We said we will take it to young people in townships and rural areas, we dedicated ourselves to open offices where young people are and in all local government of the country.

We have adopted that plan, we have launched mobile offices that will criss cross the country to the outskirts, we have launched a mobile App to ensure that all products and services of the youth are literally at the fingertips of all young people.

As we enter 2019, we wish to declare this year as the year of fighting youth unemployment head on! We declare war on youth unemployment, we say enough is enough! We will gear all our efforts and programmes towards finding solutions to this challenge. We will also concentrate on the National Youth Service Programme .

in all rural areas ensuring that we talk to young people about education, skills development, entrepreneurship programmes,
Once again, we wish you a prosperous 2019 and let us work together to ensure that we win the battle for the youth of this country. The youth remains the majority of the population and therefore there should be nothing about us without us!
