(UNDP) and the European Union held a leadership course for youth leaders
of Nigeria’s political parties. The aim of the training was to strength their
capacity as they prepared to become key pillars of democratic policy.
The training was held in Jos, the Plateau
State capital, under UNDP’s Democratic Governance for Development Project. At
the event, the UNDP resident representative to Nigeria, Daouda Toure, emphasised
the importance of political parties as essential pillars for a vibrant democracy.
He urged participants to embrace values of
good governance with adequate consideration given to cultural values and traditional
institutions. He also underscored the need for effective communication for
sustainable democracy.
