Building productive, responsible citizens\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Addressing over fifty youths at the event, Director Mwene said the objective of the Young Stars Empowerment Day was to equip angem youths with the skills, values, and confidence needed to become self-reliant leaders and contributors to community development.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

She said skills help youths become productive and self-reliant, while values like discipline, honesty, respect, and hard work shape them into responsible citizens.<\/p>\n

\u201cEmpowerment is about equipping individuals with knowledge, confidence, opportunities, and abilities to take control of their lives and make meaningful decisions,\u201d she said.

Speaking on leadership, skills, and entrepreneurship, he said leadership begins with responsibility, discipline, and service to others.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery successful entrepreneur starts with an idea and determination,\u201d he said. \u201cIdentify your talents and turn them into opportunities that create jobs and improve livelihoods.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Divisional Delegate of Communication for Kupe Muanenguba, Dr. Olive Ejang Tebug, spoke on \u201cEnergy Booster for Leadership\u201d. She urged youths to cultivate positive affirmations, be influential, responsible and action oriented.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cA true leader takes initiative, shares knowledge, and inspires others positively,\u201d she said, encouraging participants to seek mentors to guide them academically, morally, and professionally.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The First Assistant Senior Divisional Officer for Kupe Muanenguba, Djaone Mouigoum, congratulated the organizers and urged participants to remain disciplined, focused, and determined in their education and careers.<\/p>\n
