The much awaited all secondary
school programme have gotten a nod from the Lagos State Ministry Of
Education as various celebrities such as Desmond Elliot, Gbemi Olateru
–Olagbegi, Julius Agwu amongst others and youth advocates have also
endorsed the programme.
PROJECT CAPABLE was created to stem
the tide of social and moral decadence. A strategy designed to offer young
people of Secondary School age the opportunity to discover the right path to
self-discovery through programs and life coaching sessions specially designed
for these purposes. The idea is to adopt carefully selected celebrities and
youth advocates as vehicle of social change thereby having them motivate,
inspire and educate several young Nigerians who look up to them.
The programme is scheduled to hold
on Thursday 13th November at the Indoor Sports Hall of the Teslim
Balogun Stadium by 10a.m, with an expected convergence of over 2000 secondary
school students from both public and private schools in Lagos state.
The maiden edition was held
successfully in 2009 at the Indoor sports hall of the National stadium. Jimmy
Jatt, Kate Henshaw , Owen Gee, Uti Nwachukwu and Ofunneka Molokwu are
some of the celebrities who have spoken at other editions of the epoch making
event
According to the Team leader
and Project coordinator Esther Ijewere-Kalejaiye "Our Aim is to
directly influence the lives of teenagers by being part of their growth process
and activities through out-of-class educative programmes and to make the role
of celebrities and youth advocates more useful in their everyday contribution
to the growth of the nation's teenager by sustaining them as behavioral and
attitudinal change agents of our society”.
The secondary school summit is
packaged by Rubies Ink, organisers of the first of its kind "Walk Against
Rape” (W.A.R.) Campaign in Nigeria.
