Article :role of youth in the development of a country
Answers
Explanation:
Young people in any country represent the future of that country. They have a vital role to play in the development of the country a duty they must perform.
There are many ways that youth can contribute to national development.They can do so by working hard in any field they are involved in, be it the teaching, mechanic, or farming field.
Working for one’s nation with total devotion and commitment is an obligation for every citizen thus the need to have orientation events for our youth to teach them what national service is all about.
However, to ensure the active participation of young people in national development, they need to be supported and encouraged by the government, the private sector, the civil society and their parents.
One does not need to belabour the point that there are many young people who if given the required support can contribute meaningfully to national development. But bringing such youths onboard the development wagon becomes the responsibility of those in authority.
Having said that, it is also essential to note that young people must also believe in themselves; that they can become a big asset both individually and collectively to national development if they work hard.
The continued over-dependency phenomenon cannot take our youth anywhere, nor can it help them to meaningfully contribute to national development as expected
