Please describe your vision of a world that works for everyone.
It is no doubt that the world (especially here in Africa) is in dire need of competent and committed leaders. From personal studies I believe that everyone has the leadership seed in them. As a leader my greatest challenge would be to enable people (youths) discover this fact and motivate them to channel their strength and resources in becoming an asset to their world.

I believe that the change currently needed in the developing and under developed nations of the world can be achieved by renewing and reorienting the minds of the youth. This can be done through investments in social capital and social capabilities.

The world today is a global village; information and technology are tools I believe can be used to effect the change we require. How ever the greatest task lies in my ability and dependence on God to help youths see how empowering themselves as individuals can result in a better world for other people around them.

What do you see as the most pressing problems facing the world today?
Personally I believe that a major problem facing the world today is the level of illiteracy in third world countries and the inability of underdeveloped and developing nations to participate effectively in the newly emerging global knowledge based economy.

How do you feel these problems could best be solved?
From the foregoing, these problems are a direct consequence of the role that leaders in such nations have played over the years. Leaders have a duty to empower their citizens through various means one of which is educating the youth populace and engendering social facilitation

Today the world requires an ever increasing number of youths who will be duly empowered through self discovery and learning to take up leadership roles in their societies. The notion that only political leaders can bring change to the world has to be thrown away.

Lastly, people constitute the greatest asset of any nation; the change required can only be made through the empowerment of youth leaders in all spheres of life and a change in the attitude of current leaders which should ultimately rub-on the people as a whole to create a better world.
