farewell Hanatu
Related to this project: YES Country Network-Nigeria

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic


I regret to inform the YES Nigeria family about the death of one our dear members, Hannatu Yunusa, after a brief illness on the 11th of December 2008.

Hannatu was a friend who believed that young people could change this nation for the better and worked tirelessly in many youth development activities including the areas of good governance, HIV/AIDS, employment and policy advocacy.

I called her sister today and it was almost like speaking to Hannatu. Mamam like her late sister sounded poised and gentle. Exuding empathy in a calm manner told me she knew we would miss Hannatu and asked me to take heart. Instead of comforting the family she was comforting me. For anyone who knew Hannatu this is the exact thing she would have done.

Hannatu was straightforward, wise, humble, with a can do spirit and a mischevious sense of humour.
May her family take heart and know we share thier grief but also celebrate having had the opportunity to know her.

May her soul rest in perfect peace.

YES Nigeria has been invited by the Federal Ministry of Labour Employment and Productivity to partcipate in the creation of the Implementation Framework of the National Employment Policy as National Committee Members. This is the guide that will be used to create the programmes and unite the stakeholders that will deal with employment in Nigeria.

How do you participate? Simply study the existing employment policy, make your comments and offer suggestions as how this can be successfully implemented. The questions to ask at all points are, will this enable young people earn a decent living and what will?
For reference we have an employment policy review guide available. Please feel free to download it. Collect feedback from your issue based groups and send it back to us. Your organizations name will be listed as a contributor in our report to the coordinating Ministry and the final findings sent to you.

After the Nigerian 2007 elections.... then what?

After the Nigerian 2007 elections.... then what?
April 15, 2007 @ 02:54 AM
join the disscussion at http://projects.takingitglobal.org/YES-Nigeria/discuss/thread/22161/?start=0

Much has been said about the do or die attitudes, the lack of focus on real issues, and personality cults of the participants in this years electoral race. Various initiatives to engage electoral aspirants at all levels were pursued. In my humble opinion I never got the impression that 99% of these initiatives actually made any impression on aspirants that were battling being banned by INEC, thugs, and traitors.. Most aspirants seemed to be concerned with fighting on a personal rather than issue based level and securing enough money for elections. I heard all the usual I will give electricity, roads, and of course the much used JOBS FOR THE YOUTH. With the execption of Pat Utomi (this is not a campaign) I did not hear HOW this things would be achieved. Come May 29 2007 a new administration will be sworn in. When the dust clears we must get our thoughts through to them. If you had a chance to speak to your president(Governor, Senator etc) what would you reccommend he/she does to better this country and ensure employment? Dream big! Speak your mind.
