LEVERAGING CONNECTIONS FOR IMPACT. | HRH Eze Nyema Onunwor | TEDxPortHarcourt

Mentors play an important role in the development of young people and women.
Strategic focus on the development of women and young people will ultimately lead to the development of our communities and the world at large. Youthfulness is not
foolishness! They need to connect with a mentor to inspire, push and nudge them to their full potential. Women and young people are not created to be
disadvantaged, now is the time to change this narrative! The youths of today are the leaders NOW.
The cooperation of leaders is required to reduce the challenges women and young people face in typical African communities. Leaders (especially traditional leaders)should be encouraged to see the development of women and young people as a resource toward the development of communities.
