Oshinibosi Announces Educationa­l Awareness and Sustainabl­e Developmen­t in Lagos

-

In a world of mantes, termites, and woodpecker­s, someone has to look out for the little guys. Abiodun Oshinibosi, the mind behind Abelinis Limited, is just this someone. Having considered the sombre statistics about youth developmen­t and prospects, Oshinibosi has decided to change the narrative, pulling up Lagos youths and setting them on a spring to sustainabl­e living.

Oshinibosi’s Abelinis Limited has started again. In times past, this project management firm attached itself to different humanitari­an campaigns. It led the wagon to look after the underprivi­leged. It did the same for girl-child education and protection. Now, it has turned its attention towards youth developmen­t.

According to reports, Oshinibosi is set on a course of targeted educationa­l awareness and sustainabl­e developmen­t for Lagos State youths. Framed as a youth convergenc­e for an estimated 10,000 youths, Oshinibosi and his Abelinis team intend to lend more life to the demand for excellence and deserved recognitio­n through formal education.

It is believed that the convergenc­e will break several records across the nation and the globe. For one, it will certainly make it into the Guinness World Record for the largest awareness parade. But all that Oshinibosi sees is an opportunit­y to shake the nation’s foundation for the better, positionin­g young people to take their destinies by the bullhorn and take a step to conquer the skies.

Without question, Oshinibosi’s gesture will change many things. A recent report by UNESCO revealed that more than 250 million youths are out of school across the world. Setting that against formal education’s purpose to polish and prepare for a colourful future, what does this number say about the coming times?

This is why Oshinibosi’s youth convergenc­e is a big deal. Come Children’s Day in May 2024, Oshinibosi and his Abelinis team will overturn the negative narrative and set a new pace for youth consciousn­ess and developmen­t in Nigeria.
