No need for Youths to celebrate youth day without empowerment- YALI

Share

unemployed youthYoung Leaders African initiative (YALI) says there is no need for youths to celebrate youth day when government has failed to empower them.

YALI Executive Director Andrew Nthewewe said no one should condemn youths who have decided to shun this year’s youth day celebration because the majority of the youth feel frustrated because government has sidelined them in many activities.

Mr. Nthewewe said government has failed to address the many challenges young people are facing such as high levels of unemployment as top priority.

He said government should come up with a clear strategy of how they will create employment for young people and empower them.

Mr Nthewewe said from the time PF government to power they have not had a clear strategy to empower young people.

Wednesday, 12th March marks the commemoration of youth day in the country.

      These YALI chaps are not suppose to be misleading the youth like this. I can assure the youth that they are not effectively represented.

      Thank you.

  2. iwe get out of here and be real, you are in diaspora that means some government somewhere enabled you to get a job, don’t despise our citizens who have to fend for themselves, every government is required to create employment and with employment people will be less dependent on the government,

  3. If you have been active through the years, Zambia would have been a good country to live in, but why did you go to sleep , or are you waking up from slumber , it is a good thing to indeed put politicians to work than just watch
