Key Note Speakers during the Conference
Prof. PLO Lumumba Mundalo M Advice
Dialogue on Unemployment Unemployment is not something we need to shout too loud about to our governments, to provide solutions. Governments, president’s and businesses men, will always give an ear to a solution than to continuous complaint. Just like a university offers scholarships and honors to students who work hard, some might argue that they have ideas and concepts but have no recognition to implement them. This is where our young leaders come in, and through them each country come up with demographics in both rural and urban areas to face these issues in different industries. Once a diagnosis has been done, the leaders work together with their governments to come up with opportunities, and not just word of mouth projects. The notion that funded international projects are all we need in Africa, is something we need to retreat from our mindset and take action as young leaders. Before the West conditioned our minds during the era of Barter “The resources, raw materials and brains are all over Africa, the only trade Africa needs to be doing is with export and import in industries are essentially required to its growth, the rest is something we can create in Africa and export out of Africa. Dependency amid such times needs to be digressed into Co-dependency with other continents.”
Innovative Concepts Creating these concepts and reaching the masses, can be generated with telecommunication companies in each of these countries through coordination and initiatives, that will motivate the youth to participate. In addition, using recruitment agencies that actually engage and are in coordination A lot of different ideas can be born, However the sole purpose is to give each individual from each demographic and social class a chance to attain the minimum wage to feed their families, food insecurity is not necessarily a government issue but an initiative issue through coming together. Education can reach the masses and can be experienced from all circumstances, It’s also a matter of who will fight for it and want it when given a platform to retrieve it, some issues can be solved through innovation of young leaders with support of their governments. Pan African Case These young leaders need to get the push to assist each other from each generation. Focus on their own accolades is not beneficial to anyone. Oppression should not be an African thing. Accolades in African home’s, has never been about the benefit of one but of the whole family. It’s time to go back through rebirth of Africans with better western tactics that were conditioned to us.
