-Commissioner Nwogu commends Obiano's youth inclusive government.
-Urges youths in Anambra state to uphold support for the present administration.
Anambra State Commissioner for Youth Entrepreneurship and Sports Development, Dr. Mrs. Uju Nwogu has said that Anambra state is endowed with the best quality of youths who are ambitious for a better future.

Dr. Mrs. Nwogu stated this at the 2017 International Youth Day Celebration, observed at Professor Dora Akunyili Women Development Centre, Awka, the state Capital.

The Commissioner said, the Youth Day celebration which holds yearly provides opportunity for government at all level to draw attention to issues concerning youths and as such appreciated Governor Willie Obiano for running a youth friendly government noting that since the inception of the present administration, the governor has been committed to the welfare of the youths.

“Here in Anambra state, I can conveniently say that we have the best crop of young people who are committed to a positive future and ready to partner the government to transform and move the state forward”

Commissioner Nwogu further explained that the theme of this year’s solemnization which is “Youths Building Peace”, is apt as it concerns the young people’s contribution in conflict resolution and prevention.
She extolled Governor Obiano for approving numerous youth oriented programs that target at sensitizing youths on health and drug related issues while urging youths in the state not to relent in their supporting for the present administration.

 “This administration has left nobody in doubt to the commitment of it to the welfare of youths. For instance, the youths of Anambra state form a greater percentage of political appointees and people serving in different capacities in the state civil service”

In a keynote Address, a University Don, Professor Ken Nwogu harped on the need for youths to participate actively in the present saying that the youthful age is a period of self definition.
“The youth is the most sensitive age of our life. Is the age of drive, originality, altruism, accommodation and dissension, it is when we are young that we can determine who to associate with. That is when we can make best decisions of our life, it is at that age we can descend and see that which we can choose and my admonition to young people is we must always choose to be associated with that which is good”

Delivering a Lecture with the topic “Youths and Peace Building in the 21st Century”, an Associate Professor of Adult and Special Education, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Dr. Williams Obiozor challenged adults not to perceive youth-led initiatives as a threat to their own power and positions.

“Seek more inclusive means for young people to express themselves, enable young people and adults to explore the common problems they face and to tackle them together”

The 2017 Youth Day Celebration featured campaign against Drug Abuse and illicit drug peddling, by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, while a Former Anambra state Commissioner for Information, Chief Mager Umeh, the Special Assistant to Governor Obiano on Youth mobilization, Chief Tony Ezekwelu among others, were some of the dignitaries that graced the occasion.

Charles Odunukwe, a potential Leader.

O bu onye si n’igbo enwenyi mmadu? What do we really mean when we say one is a Philanthropist?   Charles Odunukwe, Foundation and Chairman Chardon Foundation and the Vice President-General Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Worldwide. These outlined questions form the basis of the following article that puts you on the know of a less perceived strong smell of a genius who has crossed and dotted his Ts and Is respectively in the events of human development and economic empowerment. One can attest to the fact that one of the factors that propagate a person with goodwill is Benevolence. Which in terms of human relation, charitable kindness, altruistic gifts, little wonder the saying that it does not matter how long one lives on earth rather what matters is the achievement he or she had instituted before going the way of all flesh and mortals. In this context, one person that keeps striking my thoughts is the man whose name will continue to ring a resounding bell in ears within and
