It’s been months since the general election and the swearing in of the new dispensation and the YAG will be holding a sensitization meeting with relevant committee staff as a means of building relationship and better access to the newly elected legislators. The sensitization meeting for the various committee staffs from the senate and house of representative committees on health, education, women affairs and youth and HIV/AIDS is expected to serve as a bridge between the YAG and the legislators in all this committees when they are inaugurated.
With this brilliant idea and plan we headed to the national assembly, after beating the tight security protocol we finally entered the building and met with the secretary representing the committee on education who then took it upon himself to take us round to all the other committee staff we needed to consult with. Wow! I thought, ‘this is already a success story’. Government officials don’t usually do these things. While we were moving from one office to another I noticed that all of the clerks were interested in what we had to say and where willing to commit to attend. Work made easy I thought, now we need to prepare, hmm….
Their attitude towards us gave me a good feeling knowing that other people out there believe in what we do, It’s amazing how such things can leave a lasting impression, the sensitization meeting is scheduled to hold on the 11th of this month as part of our activity to commemorate the International Youth Day 2011 and the end of the International Year of the Youth, sure it’s our year!
Invites have been sent, responses and commitment received, we sure intend to have a great time……. Watch this space for updates………………………….
Will keep you guys updated on the success of our program……
