Heartfelt CONGRATULATIONS to you Dr Omar Alieu Touray, as you've assumed office as President of Ecowas Commission. Your preferment is a clear manifestation of your astute and robust level of leadership exhibited over the years within the West African region.
Fast Forward, as you've commenced your duties thereof, the youthful populace of West Africa which constitutes about 65 percent of West Africa's population is kindly appealing to your honorable office to seriously include the young people on your agenda, so as to enable them showcase their potentials. The Youths are inarguably a tremendous resource for the region but their potential will only be realized when the right investments are made in their education, health, skills and even more importantly their empowerment.
Hence, your honorable office is humbly being urged to officially recognize the Ecowas Youth Assembly - a body of young people that is immensely uniting and contributing toward the development of Youths within the region. Currently in eleven countries, the Ecowas Youth Assembly (EYA) seeks to host periodic educative events, dialogue with Ecowas Representatives, private sector, civil society so as to empower young people across West Africa and encourage them to become active participants in success of the African Vision 2030 and Agenda 2063 (The Africa we want) . The EYA also seeks to enlighten, mentor and psychologically optimize the minds of young people, making them more proactive and effective in positive change-making endeavors. We see this as the right time as we aspire to see a transformational region and continent at large. The future is now; therefore, we must ACT NOW. CONGRATULATIONS once more!
