 Some civil society organizations have stressed the need to target children and youth for reorientation and engagement in a more articulated way through civic education. They set out these during a two-day civic education meeting for secondary school-age children in Port Harcott River State Capital. The project coordinator of Oxfam in Nigeria, Henry Uche, said the objectives of the two-day event include engendering responsibility by promoting transparency and accountability for public funds, as well as interest in governance. Also speaking, Executive Director of the Connected Development Code, Hamzat Lawal, said the event was imperative to start building the next generation of leaders and inculcate integrity in them. To also look at how do we begin to catch young people as early as they can, as we can, to ensure that we begin to create consciousness and awareness and mobilize them so that they're able to look at all of these injustices around them. We believe that civil society, we can work closely with government to enhance what they're doing and support the work that they're doing. But most importantly, we ensure that the kind of investment that we're needed in the next generation of leaders are properly utilized. So for us, we're bringing students that have inculcated leadership skills in them naturally. Beacons at the event said the ability of the government to engage young people will help in enhancing peace in the society. Meanwhile, some of the students said they learned how to embark on advocacy for transparency, integrity and honesty among others. Education is a key determinant of the emergence and sustainability of democracy because it promotes political participation at the individual level and fosters a collective sense of civic duty. Building community integrity is of utmost importance to everyone, both as a child and as an adult, because it is the only thing that can drive sustainable peace in our country. We're learning about transparency. I think transparency is a virtue of being honest and being fair in what we do for society. And I think that the central position of transparency is going to be of young people. The project tagged Power of Voices, Fair for World Project, was established in six states in Nigeria, including Delta, Emo, Aquabom, Cross River, River State and the FCT.
