subject: Tapping Youth Potential For Enterprise Revolution - A Niger Delta Perspective [print this page] Much as entrepreneurial development is central to the theme of national revival, so is peace in the Niger Delta region. President Yaradua's amnesty offer in fact expressly cites that many Niger Delta militants are "able-bodied youths whose energies could be harnessed for the development of the nation at large." To develop a nation of entrepreneurs, there must be a multi-sectoral, multi-level and multi-phase undertaking that begins with a collective resolve to get out of the old mould of doing things. We need passionate promoters of the entrepreneurial spirit that can inspire an entrepreneurial revolution in Nigeria and even Africa in totality. Hence, a radical and coordinated attempt to accelerate wealth creation through the promotion of innovative business practices. This acknowledgement is a standing testament of the fact that Nigeria's long-term goals are unachievable without the whole-hearted participation of its sizeable youth population, even those who insist on holding on to their guns for now!
