The phrase “catch them young” is widely used by all and sundry. However, Hon Ismail Adeniyi the founder of Youth Inclusive initiative is on a social mission to redefining human capital development by catching them at such young and tender age. His approach here is such that the intellectual,social, and emotional development of any adult today is a function of the sort of childhood they endured through time.
During his recent trip to Adamawa state, Hon. Adeniyi Ismail met with a group of young and brilliant Nigerians who are visibly from vulnerable backgrounds. He dined and wined with them, encouraged them and offered scholarships for some of them through The Youth Inclusive Initiative (YII).
While announcing the scholarship, Hon Ismail Adeniyi said:
“We all say; youths are the leaders of tomorrow, but we can’t emphasize enough the venerability of a proper foundation and structure to fuse these future expectations, Otherwise we will have a disaster in waiting. I believe human capital development has different strata, and at every juncture there must be agglomeration of ideologies that can shape the quality of individuals that our society seek to produce. This was exactly what was running through my mind when I was in the midst of these amazing young chaps in whose Future I intend to be a part. This is why I am taking this course of action to offer scholarships and follow-up programs for those that will get scholarships from YII”.
