Choices Programme
The choices program is an initiative that GIEVA is introducing to students in Nigerian secondary schools, tertiary institutions, and rural communities in general. The program is to create and assist the youth to develop positive attitude/character towards their education and quest for constructive engagement and self actualization. The program involves looking into the challenges impeding/militating against youth's ability to develop their leadership, academic, artistic, musical, and sport potentials with a focus for excellence and desire to serve the community. In addition, it involves providing channels for guided mentorship and orientation for developing a means of making right life's choices.
Current statistical picture shows that Nigeria is over a hundred and forty million people. About 70% (98,000,000) of Nigeria population is either under employed or unemployed, 50% (70,000,000) is between the ages of 15-35 years old, and an average of 15% (21,000,000) of these are graduates from secondary and tertiary institutions. Over 60% is drop-outs from secondary schools that are un-enable to pursue their education and become productive members of the Nigerian community.
Since 1999 the Federal Government of Nigeria in its effort to meet these dismal challenges, meet the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), and achieve its National Economic Empowerment Developments Strategies (NEEDS) has continued to encourage the Public-Private partnership along its intended reforms in every sector of the economy. GIEVA taking cognizance that the social, economic, educational and political transformation of any nation depends largely on the building of the youth to imbibe hard work, integrity, honesty, and selfless service in the community is introducing the Choices program to contribute in the building of future leaders for sustainable development and poverty reduction.
