AIESEC Nigeria partners with Challenge:Future Nigeria

We are happy to announce that the Challenge:Future chapter in Nigeria is now in partnership with AIESEC Nigeria. The partnership which kicks off today (December 12, 2011) is one that increases the reach of Challenge:Future in terms of quantity and quality of impact in Nigeria.

AIESEC is the world’s largest youth-run organization, Present in over 110 countries and territories and with over 60,000 members, AIESEC is the largest student organization focused on providing a platform for youth leadership development, AIESEC offers young people the opportunity to participate in international internships, experience leadership and participate in a global learning environment.

AIESEC in Nigeria, the national chapter of AIESEC International has been involved in providing the Nigerian Youths the opportunity of becoming leaders and positive agents since 1961; leaders who are globally minded, emotional intelligent, socially responsible, active learners and entrepreneurial.  This is done by providing members the platform to explore and develop their leadership potential.

AIESEC International supports the Challenge:Future competition and Nigeria has gone one more step to develop a partnership which was not difficult considering the shared values and vision of both organization. AIESEC in Nigeria currently has a nation-wide network of over 1200 youths in 14 cities and as a network partner, Challenge:Future Nigeria gets to enjoy access to these young people.

With no delay, both are now working on a Youth Leadership Summit to take place January 2012, as well as other projects and competitions that will be of impact to the local community throughout 2012.  Perhaps why the President of the Chapter in person of Nubi Kayode said “This is what we have been waiting for; we can now leave the drawing board and start to effect change in our local community while having fun collaborating”.

The President of AIESEC in Nigeria in person of Femi Adebayo was no less excited as he really wished for the partnership to kick off before the year ran out, and that has just happened. So watch out for Challenge:Future Nigeria as they get to wow the C:F community with their projects and activities (maximizing impact) in collaboration with AIESEC in Nigeria.
