Nigeria must invest in young leaders, says Chidoka

Former Nigerian Minister of Aviation Osita Chidoka has emphasized the need for investment in young Nigerians to prepare them for leadership and public policy roles. Chidoka, who is the Founder and Chancellor of the Athena Centre for Policy and Leadership, made this call at the graduation ceremony of the first cohort of the Athena-Anchoria Junior Fellows Programme.

The fellowship, supported by Anchoria Group, brought together 13 young Nigerians from across the six geopolitical zones for a six-month leadership and public policy fellowship. The programme aimed to equip the participants with the knowledge and skills required to contribute meaningfully to public policy, governance, and national development.
