The International Visitor Leadership Programme Alumni Association of Nigeria, operating under the auspices of the US Consulate in Lagos
, last week, issued a stern warning to young male students about the dangers of cybercrime and drug abuse.
Chairman IVLPAAN Board of Trustees and Deputy Commandant, Nigeria Drug Law Enforcement Agency, Lagos Command, Lambert Nor, advised the students to learn to reject pressures related to drug abuse. He said, “You can be whatever you choose to be, either good or bad, but becoming the good part is profitable. That you were not born with a silver spoon does not mean you cannot be anywhere you want in the world. Your background is not enough to limit you from becoming what you want to be. Education is the best thing you can spend your time doing now because it structures your life and configures your mind.
Commenting on the programme, President, IVLP Alumni Association, Adedayo Oketola, said: “In social intervention, much attention has been directed towards empowering women and girls due to the historical neglect they have endured. However, there’s been a noticeable gap in support for young boys. In addressing one issue, we’ve inadvertently left another unattended – the empowerment of boys.
For the author of The Slaves In The Palace, Foluke Sijuwola Falayi, character and discipline are basic qualities of transformational leaders.
